Samuel Raj, an MBA holder from Virugambakkam, jumped from a height of 20 feet after stopping his two-wheeler in the middle of the flyover. Witnesses alerted authorities, and he was rushed to Chromepet Government Hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival.

reported that police did not find a suicide note, but inquiries revealed that Samuel Raj may have been distressed over not being selected for a city-based squad in the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL).

Quoting his friends, police sources investigating the case said that Samuel had been seemingly disturbed for the past few days due to not being selected for the state team as well as by franchises in the ongoing Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL). "We suspect that this might be the reason for his resorting to the extreme step," a police source said.

Samuel Raj was a talented off-spinner, often compared to Indian great R Ashwin, and a hard-working player committed to the game. He was a regular member of the top teams in the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association's (TNCA) first division league for the past few years. Last year, he played for the TNCA XI side in the Buchi Babu tournament and led the South Zone side in the Vizzy Trophy, a national-level tournament organised by the BCCI.
