The past one week witnessed two young IT engineers committing suicide. While one of them was a Wipro employee, the other was employed with HCL. Both the engineers died by jumping from their office building. According to a Silicon India report, Wipro engineer Vishal Yadav (29), had a BE in electronics and hailed from Madhya Pradesh. Since May 17, 2004, he was working with Wipro as a Business Analyst and had gone on leave for two months. Interestingly, he had put in his papers via e-mail and was supposed to be relieved of his duties on August 31. At around 10:20 pm on Wednesday, Vishal jumped from the top floor of S-II building of Wipro that has 12 storeys. When security supervisors heard a loud thud, they rushed to the spot and found Vishal down with blood around his body. They took him to the hospital, but it was in vain as doctor declared him brought dead. Doctors said, “With multiple head, spinal and thigh fractures, he might have collapsed within minutes after the fall.” Meanwhile, HCL engineer Vikas Kumar Sharma (26), hailed from Munger district in Bihar. Since January 1, 2009, he was working with HCL as Senior Network Analyst. He was living with a cousin in Delhi’s Katwaria Sarai area. Though he was on a official off on Wednesday, he decided to report for the duty. The company cab had brought Vikas to the office around 4.30 am. Around 5.50 am Vikas jumped from the 5th floor of the office building. He was rushed to a hospital where doctors declared him brought dead. Police have been trying to find the reason of the deaths as they could not find any suicide note or any threat related information till now. In Vishal’s case, police framed eight questions and sent them to the human resources department of Wipro, but even after 24 hours, they were unable to get any personal details of the dead man. However, an HR executive of Wipro said, “We have been directed not to reveal any information or photograph of the employee. It is just that he had quit the job and was serving the notice period.” A police officer said, “We are not ruling out murder. There are lots of unanswered questions and it is for Wipro to clear the doubts.” In the case of Vikas, Noida’s Superintendent of Police (City) Ashok Tripathi said, “The company’s officials did not inform the police about the incident. Authorities at Max Hospital, where the victim was taken to, informed us.”
