Enquiry revealed that this was a case of suicide. It came to light that he had mailed his friends saying that he was ending his life as he was depressed.
His mail said he had contemplated taking the extreme step last week, the police said.
In his mail, Anirudhya had said, "The decision to end my life is purely logical, based on my estimation of what the future contains. Life holds no intrigue anymore and the daily grind is becoming more difficult with time."
