27-Year-Old Medical Representative Dies by Suicide, Probe On
Tirupati: The alleged suicide of a 27-year-old medical representative in Kurnool has triggered a political controversy, with opposition leaders accusing ruling party members of harassment, while police attribute the incident to personal distress linked to a failed relationship.
The deceased, identified as Satish, a resident of Sriram Nagar in Kurnool, was found dead at his residence on Sunday morning. Kurnool III Town police inspector Seshaiah reached the spot, shifted the body for postmortem, and registered a case based on a complaint lodged by his father, Balanna.
According to the police, Satish had been under emotional stress following a failed relationship with a woman from the same locality. The woman had reportedly rejected his advances earlier and had filed a complaint accusing him of harassment. She, along with her father, had also approached a local politician seeking intervention in the matter.
The incident soon escalated into a political issue after former MLA and YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) Kurnool district president SV Mohan Reddy alleged that local Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leaders had harassed Satish, contributing to the circumstances that led to his death.
However, the woman and her father denied any involvement of TDP leaders. Responding to the allegations, TDP leader Gattu Tilak dismissed the claims and criticised attempts to politicise what he termed a personal matter.
Times of India reports that police have maintained that the case appears to be linked to personal issues, and further investigation is underway to ascertain all aspects surrounding the incident.
The case continues to be under investigation, with authorities examining all angles even as political tensions over the matter persist in the region.
