Mysore :  Rajesh, a young  tribal talent who shot to limelight through a reality show of a Kannada TV channel  has  met a tragic end on November 3, Sunday afternoon. He reportedly died from the third floor of his house and breathed his last breath in the hospital he was rushed to.

Rajesh, who suffered injuries on the left side of his abdomen was rushed to Bhanavi Hospital in Kuvempunagar. Dr Vijay Chaluvaraj and Dr Ravi, who attended on him, tried to revive him for nearly 20 minutes, but in vain. He was declared dead subsequently.

In her complaint to the South police, Rajesh’s mother Lakshmi said: “My son went to the terrace of the house to attend a call on his cellphone. He was suffering from frequent giddiness and slipped to death around 12.40 pm.”

Earlier, the mother and the son had been arguing over an issue, said Ravi, a neighbour who helped extricate a bleeding Rajesh stuck in the grills of the compound wall after the incident.

It was just ten months ago that the family had shifted to the rented place in Mysore from the Balle tribal hamlet in HD Kote taluk of the district.

Lakshmi said that a few minutes prior to the incident, they had returned home after their plan to go to Chamundi Hills had to be cut short due to the abnormal behaviour of Rajesh.

On the way to the Hills in a cab along with his mother, the actor asked the driver twice to stop the car, expressing his desire to jump off the Hills. Petrified, the driver took a detour and dropped the mother and son duo home. It was after this that both of them picked a quarrel, at the gate of the house.

According to Lakshmi, when Rajesh went to a doctor, complaining of giddiness, the doctor ruled out any problem and had advised him to concentrate on his fitness.

He was hospitalized after he suffered a mental breakdown owing to mysterious reasons. Even though his film Jungle Jackie got released, it did not gain much succes.
