The deceased has been identified as Papanna, a resident of Channasandra. Before taking the extreme step, he reportedly recorded a video in which he alleged that a woman named Nayana and others had been demanding money from him and threatening to file a case under the Act.
In the video, Papanna allegedly claimed that the woman was demanding ₹10 lakh and earlier filed a similar case against him in 2021. He further alleged that he had already paid a substantial amount to settle the earlier dispute and was once again being subjected to demands for money.
