A 66-year-old debt-ridden powerloom weaver allegedly committed suicide due to ‘financial distress’ in the textile town of Sircilla on Saturday afternoon.
The deceased was identified as Siripuram Lakshminarayana, a resident of Rajivnagar.
Sources said that he took the extreme step as a result of his mounting debts. He used to work in a powerloom unit at Pragathinagar, sources added.
