Police denied revery of any suicide note, however, a handwritten note, reportedly found in his room by his friends, was circulated on WhatsApp groups.

As per Hindustan Times, which has the possession of the handwritten note reads: "Life is an illusion. It seems like space, all empty. The physical matter I feel like disappearing from this planet. I am unable to satisfy my hunger though I eat too much. I am unable to satisfy my thirst, though I drink too much. I could not feel the heat, the smell, the fragrance. The energy inside my body is drained."

"...this is something horrible. All I want is to live like a bird...I want to sleep in the lap of mother nature...," the note read.

The deceased's roommate, Abhishek Tirkey, said that Mahapatra was a jovial person and never mentioned any problems.
