Bengaluru: In a major breakthrough in IAS officer DK death case, police sources claim that DK Ravi might have committed suicide due to crisis in his personal life.
According to the WhatsApp messages accessed by the police, Ravi was in love with his female colleague. “After you hear of my death, please come and see me, may be we will meet in another life,” one of the messages allegedly said.
According to police reports, his female colleague and her husband had tried to counsel Ravi to give up his attempt at his one-sided love and move on with his life and career, the sources said.
In his last WhatsApp message Ravi wrote, “I can’t live without you. I am taking a drastic step”. In another message sent on March 15 at 4.25 PM, a day before he committed suicide, Ravi wrote “Today is the day of unfortunate decision. I always hoped that you would lead me. But it is not happening. I will wait for your response till 9 o’clock in the night”.
He had sent another message at 5:20 PM, which said “you don’t try to call or contact me. Don’t reveal my love to anybody. If there is a re-birth, we will meet”.
The female officer sent him a reply at 7 PM on the same day. It said, “What is this madness? If you don’t want me to talk to you, please let me know. I will not call you”.
The next day, the day he died, Ravi sent a long message to her explaining the reasons for his decision to die. It said, “Baby, this is my last message to you. I am sending this to explain you what I am. I am not a liar. I am not a selfish person. I am not a crook. I have always been honest. I have led a clean life. I am from a rural background. I am from a poor family. I have now failed in my life. Don’t know what to do. I am now left with no hope. Nobody likes me. I have none. You have been my inspiration. If I wanted just beauty, I could easily have got a more beautiful woman. I can’t live without you. That’s not possible. I will leave this world. You please lead a good life. I want you to lead to a good life after my death. Because of that I have deleted all your pictures and messages from mobile phone. Once you hear the news of my death, if possible come, hug my body, kiss me and pray to Lord Shiva that I rest in eternal peace”.
The woman IAS officer linked to late Karnataka IAS officer had earlier put up a post on her Facebook profile saying ‘Truth shall prevail’.
