| N Harish, IPS |
N Harish, the Tamil Nadu-cadre IPS officer, who died mysteriously in Chennai on Thursday, was reportedly a roommate of late IAS officer D K Ravi in New Delhi.
D K Ravi had committed suicide last year in Bangalore.
A childhood friend of of Harish, Nardendra Babu told Deccan Chronicle that Harish had gone to Delhi for a year to join a coaching course. It was there he and D K Ravi shared a room, he informed.
A bright Bangalore boy, Harish did mechanical engineering in the reputed RV college and rejected an offer from Infosys. He sought a career in civil services and made it to IPS in 2009.
His family and friends are in shock as they know the determination with which Harish had pursued his dream.
He reportedly took up a different room in Banaglore to stay away from his family to cut down on the distraction, while preparing for civil services. He also reportedly skipped his sister's wedding when he was on training in Hyderabad.
His IPS batchmates speaking to Deccan Herald said Harish took his training very seriously. Though shy and bookish, he had surprised everyone with a brilliant dollu kunitha performance, a Karnataka folk dance, at Hyderabad academy.
Harish was reportedly engaged to the daughter of a police officer and was to be married soon.
