HYDERABAD: A 40-year-old realtor and his 65-year-old mother, who were from Ramayampet in Medak district, committed suicide by setting themselves ablaze due to alleged harassment by seven persons, including TRS leaders and a police inspector, at a lodge in Kamareddy district in the wee hours of Saturday. Incidentally, the twin suicides come close on the heels of a contractor killing himself at a lodge in Udupi in Karnataka, blaming a minister for demanding bribe to clear his bills.
The mother-son duo left a video message besides a suicide note naming the seven persons, including TRS leaders — Ramayampet municipal chairperson Jitendar Goud and Market Yard Committee chairman Yadagiri — and former Ramayampet circle inspector T Nagarjuna Goud, as responsible for their deaths. Nizamabad police registered a case under Section 306 (abetment to commit suicide) of the Indian Penal code (IPC) against them.
