Techie hangs himself in HSR Layout
9 Jun 2009, 0619 hrs IST, TNN
Bangalore : He sported long hair, usually played the guitar well into the wee hours at his house in Sector 6, HSR Layout and his
shoulder tattoo read `God is a F***** Idiot'. He lived a lonely life, perhaps unable to come to terms with the tragic suicide of his sister and mother a couple of years ago.
On Monday morning, software company owner K T Ligesh, 32, was found hanging in his house.
He was also deeply upset his company, Lx Labs, in HSR Layout, 6th Sector, had recently lost a project to another company. The police said Ligesh, son of Dr Sreedharan of Kannur, Kerala, was a brilliant software engineer who came to the city about four years ago. He set up his company which was doing quite well and stayed with a friend Sheenu in the same house where his company was located.
Both his mother and sister had hanged themselves five years ago and this had always bothered Ligesh. A song writer and guitarist, he was even part of a band. The police said they'd received several complaints from neighbours about the loud music and even warned him.
Neighbours confirmed that Ligesh didn't have many friends and didn't interact with anyone. Often, he'd sleep with the house door open. On his social networking site page, he wrote that his ambition was to kill God and he was an anti-Christ.
On Sunday night, Ligesh and Sheenu talked and drank till well past midnight and an agitated Ligesh talked about the death of his mother and sister. DCP (South-East) B N S Reddy said he was also upset about the lost contract.
While Sheenu went to sleep in his room, Ligesh stayed in his and on Monday morning, Sheenu found that Ligesh had hanged himself.
Dr Sreedharan came to Bangalore on hearing of the death. The post mortem will be conducted on Tuesday, after which the body will be handed over to his father.

Many of you may not know who he is but he does have an effect on Gamers Forum. The server control panel that I use is made by LX Labs. Thanks to the exploit, the control panel had to be disabled, otherwise we would have faced some troubled times.
He owned a pretty successful company and then he hung himself the same day his software was exploited where dozens of datacenters were affected by this world wide. And his mother and sister committed suicide the same way 5 years ago. Tragic ending to a family.
I heard of the news today when a webmaster buddy of mine pointed it out to me since we both use the same control panel. I know his company will be facing some hard times due to this incident, I'm just hoping it doesn't affect the way they function or stop them from finding a fix to the exploit. I really would hate to get another CP since I'm so used to this one.
He was the one and only owner so that could have some problems to who goes into power and if they can get access to keep the company going.
Dozens of other hosting companies use their HyperVM software for their vps management and I know they will have a lot to deal with.
RIP. Thank you for making my life a little easier with your CP.
