Former Karnataka labour minister C. Gurunath committed suicide by jumping from the second-floor window of Sagar Hospital in Tilak Nagar on Thursday afternoon.

Former Karnataka labour minister C. Gurunath committed suicide by jumping from the second-floor window of Sagar Hospital in Tilak Nagar on Thursday afternoon.

Gurunath (69) was a resident of Kumaraswamy Layout and hailed from Shabad in Chittapur in Kalaburgi. He was suffering from diabetes and renal ailments, for which he was undergoing treatment at the hospital since Monday. Gurunath underwent a surgery on Wednesday, but he was experiencing a lot of pain after that.

Sources said that even though Gurunath had four children, none of them visited him at the hospital, which could have probably led him into depression, the police said. “His wife also did not visit. His nephew Dilip, a doctor, was attending on him,” hospital sources said.
