Prabhat’s father TarakNath is a former Tata Steel employee. Currently, he operates an auto-rickshaw.
“Though I had put him first in NTTF ( Nettur Technical Training Foundation ) at Golmuri and later at the Govindpur-based Tata Motors ancillary unit for gathering experience so that he may get a proper job in some big company ,” said Nath.
He, however, could not say exactly why his son took such extreme step, except that he was living in depression and would talk less at home.
OC, Burmaminespolice station, Ram Yash Prasad said it was a case of suicide. ” As per initial probe it is a case of suicide. We have taken the statement of the deceased’s father and also from the people living in the neighbourhood at Kailash Nagar.
