A 27-year-old man from Karnataka&rsquo;s Mysuru district, accused of impregnating a schoolgirl, died by suicide after allegedly being falsely implicated in the case. 
The deceased, identified as Ramu, a resident of Kudakuru village in Piriyapatna taluk, reportedly jumped into the Tunga Canal near Bettada Tunga village on Monday.
According to police, Ramu left a voice message before taking the extreme step, in which he denied the allegations and accused the school&rsquo;s physical education teacher of being responsible for the pregnancy. 
In his message, he demanded a DNA test to prove his innocence.
&ldquo;I am not responsible for the girl&rsquo;s pregnancy. I have no relationship with her and have been falsely accused.&nbsp;The school&rsquo;s PE teacher is responsible, but to protect him, they are blaming me. It&rsquo;s impossible to live with this false accusation,&rdquo; Ramu said in his recorded message.
He further claimed that the matter was being covered up to protect the school&rsquo;s reputation and that he was being targeted merely because he used to speak with the girl.
Police said Ramu went missing on October 31 after sending the voice message. 
His parked motorcycle, along with his mobile phone, slippers, and jacket, were found near the canal. 
His body was later recovered by authorities.
An investigation has been launched to verify Ramu&rsquo;s allegations and determine the role of the school&rsquo;s staff members. 
Officials are also examining the voice message and other evidence.
The incident has once again highlighted growing concerns over rising cases of sexual misconduct in educational institutions across Karnataka. 
In recent months, several teachers across the state, including in Bidar, Bengaluru, and Moodabidri, have been arrested in separate cases under the POCSO Act for sexually assaulting students.
Further details in the Mysuru case are awaited as the investigation continues.
