Naveen also told his uncle that he too would commit suicide but on the latter’s suggestion he drove back his car to Hindu College where a police team had already reached. Naveen’s uncle informed the police around 8.27 pm that he was going to commit suicide following which a team of officials called Naveen and asked him to come to Hindu College.
