VIJAYAWADA: A village revenue assistant (VRA) committed suicide by consuming pesticide at his residence in Konduru village of Nandigama mandal in Krishna district.
The incident happened on Thursday night and came to light Friday after he died while receiving treatment at Vijayawada Government General Hospital (GGH).
The deceased was identified as Korrapati Yesu, VRA of Konduru village. According to Nandigama rural police, Yesu was found unconscious by locals who rushed him to Nandigama Government Hospital. He was later shifted to Vijayawada GGH. Cops are yet to ascertain the reason behind the step.
However, family members and relatives say that Yesu was depressed over family disputes with his wife and her family for the past few months and suspect that it could have pushed him to end his life. Other family members claim that work pressure might have been the tipping point.
