Kollegal: A 23-year-old unemployed youth from Mysuru, committed suicide by jumping into Bharachukki Falls at Shivanasamudra in the taluk.
The deceased has been identified as Sagar (23), son of Somanath and a resident of Gayathripuram in Mysuru. It is learnt the unemployment drove Sagar to take the extreme step.
As there was decreased water flow at Bharachukki Falls, the body of Sagar was found stuck between the rocks.
