He had told his family on Friday that he will be going to office only on Monday. But Saturday evening he told people at home that he was assigned urgent work and rushed to his office and later jumped to his death.

Besides collecting his mobile phone call details, the Thousand Lights police said they were conducting enquiries with family members and colleagues in his office to know if there was any sudden provocation for the extreme step. Ramadurai had completed his BCA in an engineering college and joined the current job eight months ago.
