A 32-year-old man from Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh allegedly died by suicide at the Isha Yoga Centre near the Velliangiri foothills in Coimbatore on Friday, 22 July.
The victim has been identified as Gullu Ramana.

The SP did not elaborate on the reasons given by Ramana in the note for his suicide.
