In a tragic incident, a farmer reportedly died by suicide at Angaskal village of Aluru mandal in Kurnool district on Saturday.
Jayaramudu (55) took a bank loan of ₹6 lakh and borrowed money from private moneylenders, for cultivating on his three-acre land along with the 10 acres he took lease of. However, due to crop failure, he could not clear the debts.
Unable to withstand the mounting pressure from the bank and moneylenders, he took the extreme step. The police shifted the body to an area hospital and registered a case.
