According to the police’s preliminary investigation, the doctor was facing severe financial problems and was under immense mental stress, which is believed to have driven him to take the extreme step.
The police said that the deceased was in deep debt after taking loans from banks in his name. He had borrowed the money to lend it to four of his friends, giving large amounts ranging from Rs 15 lakh to Rs 1.4 crore.

However, when he asked for repayment, they allegedly refused and reportedly told him they would not return the money "even if he were dead." Their response left him deeply distressed, and along with the mental pressure of mounting debts, police suspect this might have driven him to take the extreme step.
As per Telangana Today news report, the incident came to light when his family found him unconscious at home on Tuesday morning. He had gone to bed with them the previous night. The family rushed him to the district headquarters hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead.
Police have registered a case and launched an investigation into the case.
