Infy staffer sent out ‘suicide note’

The Infosys employee who was found dead on the night of July 31 had sent an email to her husband B. Suresh Reddy minutes before she purportedly jumped off the Infosys building here, indicating that she would take the extreme step, the police said on Saturday. According to police, Y. Neelima also sent an email to her friend B. Prashanth a few hours before, also from her cellphone.

In the email, Neelima told her husband that her “ways are different from his”, and wrote her “last will” to distribute her property, police said. She also reportedly wrote that no one should “suffer” due to her death. “I am unable to live this life. I am unable to adjust and vexed with life,” she purportedly wrote in the email.

Sources said Neelima did not want to return to Tampa, Florida, where she worked, and had apparently given broad hints to her friends that she was going to commit suicide. An officer from Raidurgam police said, “We found an email written by Neelima to her husband at 10.23 pm on July 31. She jumped minutes after emailing the suicide note.” The police is yet to retrieve SMSes from her mobile. They are waiting for autopsy and viscera reports. Police sources said Neelima also sent a mail to her bosses on July 30, saying it was her last working day. Mr Prashanth, recipient of the other mail, is a former employee of Infosys in Tampa, Florida, and a native of Vishakapatnam. Now working with Cognizant, he had arrived in India the same day as Neelima — July 21 — and has told the police that his wedding engagement was scheduled for August 10, after which he was scheduled to return to the US.

According to police, the emails also stated that Neelima took Rs 10 lakh from Prashanth as loan, which she sent to her husband.

I want to begin with a little story that was told to me by a leading executive at Aptech. He was exercising in a gym with a lot of younger people.

Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen didn’t make the cut. Neither did Shaji Karun’s Piravi, which bagged 31 international awards.
