Netizens React:

One wrote, "Thats so very sad."

Another wrote, "Where is he now"

A third commented, “This is really sad 😢 he needs help he needs to overcome his loss”

Why don't try taking to nimhans. It's clear something is wrong. He needs help to push him selves out of the condition. Once he overcomes the undying problem he might be able to take care of self. When sensitive ppl go through many losses etc I believe they lose their interest in materialism. Maybe he is in such a stage," commented the fourth.

"This is a stark reminder of the unpredictability of life. It’s crucial to support mental health and provide opportunities for skill development and rehabilitation. No one should have to face such circumstances, especially in a city known for its thriving tech ecosystem," commented a fifth user.
