Dalit computer engineer ends life
Yagnesh Mehta, TNN, Feb 13, 2011, 11.02pm IST

SURAT: Alleging mental torture and fear of being framed by his boss
for leaking data, a 28-year-old computer engineer committed suicide on
Saturday night in Adajan area. Vipul Baraiya, a Dalit software
developer in Innovera Computer, blamed his boss in his suicide note.

Baraiya was found hanging from a ceiling fan in his room at Darpan Row
House on Pal Road. He had locked himself in his room and had first
tried to slit his wrist. The police found a suicide note in his room
which said, "In anger, I sent a mail to a competitor firm but I have
not sent any data. I feel that (his senior) can do anything to take
revenge for an old issue." He further said that his personal computer
and friend's laptop were taken away by his senior and he feared that
they may install some data in it to frame him.

On Saturday, Baraiya was called to Umra police station around 11.30 am
for questioning following a complaint of data theft by Jignesh Shah,
manager in Innovera. "In his answer to police, Baraiya confessed that
he sent a mail to the competitor firm out of anger and to threaten his
current bosses. After noting down his reply, he was allowed to go,"
said A R Chaudhary, police inspector Umra.

In suicide note, Baraiya stated that, "Even after I confessed in Umra
police station, in writing, about sending the mail my senior is not
ready to believe."

Bharat, elder brother of Baraiya, said, "Vipul was sent to Philippines
for training by his US based main boss Mickey Shah. After that his
local senior was jealous about Vipul's progress following which he
used to harass him time and again. "Vipul resigned from the job a week
before as he got a new job in Pune. But his immediate boss was
accusing him of stealing data and selling it to a competitor." Bharat
also alleged that this senior used to make derogatory remarks Vipul's
caste. Baraiya's family members said he committed suicide for fear of
being framed. However, police have not registered their complaint.
"The case is still to be investigated," said P R Desai, police
inspector Adajan.
