A man attempted suicide in Guntur allegedly after his family was duped of ₹25 lakh in a sand mining deal.
Md. Noushad, a resident of Guntur, consumed rat poison on December 14 and is undergoing treatment in a private hospital.
According to Noushad’s brother Muzeeb Ur Rahman, they had given their hard-earned savings to Panthagani Aashiq Sunny, a YSRCP leader, in 2020. “Mr. Sunny, a follower of YSRCP’s Bapatla MP Nandigam Suresh, had approached us to invest in a sand reach that he had secured, and promised substantial returns. We trusted his words, given his association with a prominent political figure,’‘ Mr. Muzeeb said.
