A 37 year old software engineer from Jafferkhanpet in Chennai was found dead in a lodge in Chengalpet after allegedly facing huge losses in online trading. According to police, Anandaraj had borrowed nearly ₹60 lakh from banks and people known to him for investments in online trading, but suffered significant financial setbacks.
Anandaraj worked at a software company in Ramapuram and lived with his wife and three children. On November 1, his wife had gone to her parents’ home with the children, leaving him alone. When she later tried contacting him, he did not respond to repeated phone calls. After returning home and finding the house locked, she searched for him and then filed a missing complaint with police.
During the investigation, police found that Anandaraj had checked into a lodge in Chengalpet. After receiving information, officers entered the room and found him dead. His body was sent to a government hospital for a postmortem examination.
Police said he had left behind a note mentioning that he had lost borrowed money in online trading and was leaving his family behind. Authorities have launched a detailed investigation into the case.
