Mysore/Mysuru: A cloth merchant died after jumping in front of a moving train behind Pandavapura Sahakara Sakkare Karkhane (PSSK) in Pandavapura this morning.

The deceased has been identified as S. Manikyam (52), a resident of Sunnadakeri, who owns a saree shop near Uma Talkies in Kumbarageri.

Yesterday at about 10 am, Manikyam left the shop saying that he was going to collect his dues from saree purchasers. He left the shop on his Honda Activa (KA-09-HG-7191) leaving his sons Chethan and Karthik to take care of the shop.
