Kalaburagi: A 45-year-old engineer with the Gautam Adani-owned cement company ACC in Wadi town of Chittapur taluk allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself on Thursday morning in a state of tension due to alleged mental harassment by the company management officials.
The deceased engineer has been identified as Ramesh Pawar, a resident of ACC Colony in Wadi and the son-in-law of former BJP legislator from Chittapur constituency Late Valmiki Nayak.
Pawar, who committed suicide in a guest house, reportedly recorded a video during his last minutes, accusing the officials of his company for having led him to take his life by hanging himself. He has also, in the video, urged the concerned authorities to ensure justice for his family, requesting Chittapur legislator and State Government Minister Priyank Kharge to do so.
A case has been filed at the Wadi Police Station and the officers paid a visit to the guest house for inspection.
