It is said that he tried to end his life by consuming poison at the bus stand in Gajendragad in Gadag district on Friday evening. The bus depot personnel admitted him to the government hospital and later he was shifted to Kumareshwar Hospital in Bagalkot.

In a letter written by Sharanappa, which the police recovered during the spot inspection, he has claimed that Ahmed Rafeeq and Ismail of Mysuru have been forcing and harassing him to indulge in terrorist activities from the last one-and-a-half years. "They were giving me an injection and explaining me how to fix a bomb in the college. I don’t want to kill others," he is learnt to have said in the letter.

Bagalkot SP C B Rishyanth visited the hospital and interrogated Sharanappa and his family members. "Sharanappa is just telling that some people were threatening him to indulge in terrorist activities. Prima facie, his statement seems to be false. But his brother Hanumanth Nagaral has said that his mental health is not good," he added.
