Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Konaseema district Superintendent of Police P. Sridhar on June 27 (Tuesday) said that 21-year-old M. Shyam had reportedly ended his life in his relative’s house under Kothapeta police limits on the night of June 24. The body was found in the house the next day (June 25).
The death of Shyam, a fan of actor Junior NTR, took a political turn on June 27 (Tuesday) after Telugu Desam Party national president N. Chandrababu Naidu and Jr. NTR appealed for a detailed probe into the case.
“Preliminary reports suggested that Shyam ended his life and personal issues are believed to be the reason. The body was handed over to the parents on June 25 and the final rites were performed the same day. The parents have not levelled any allegation pertaining to suicide yet,” the SP told The Hindu.
