He immediately informed the Selvapuram police who rushed to the spot and retrieved his body. His body was sent to Coimbatore government hospital for autopsy.
A preliminary investigation by the police revealed that Ravi could have taken the extreme step due to excess debts. A case has been registered and investigations are on.
