Hyderabad, February 4, 2026: A 31-year-old software engineer was found dead at his residence in Miyapur on Wednesday, with police suspecting that difficulties coping with job requirements may have led to the incident.
According to officials, the tech professional, who had joined a well-known software company around two months ago, had recently been assigned coding-related responsibilities. Investigators said he was reportedly struggling to manage the nature of the work and had expressed his concerns to family members.
Police said the man, who got married last year, had discussed his work-related stress with both his wife and brother. His wife has been staying at her native place in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh since January and had been in frequent contact with him over the phone.
Authorities clarified that long working hours were not cited as a contributing factor. A case has been registered, and further inquiry is underway to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the death.
