Unable to repay a loan, a 26-year-old labourer allegedly ended life at his house in Gudibande in Chikkaballapura on Tuesday. The deceased has been identified as Girish, who was married and had a child. According to the police, Girish borrowed ₹13 lakh to buy a tractor from private finance companies a few years ago. He planned to rent out the tractor and earn money.
But due to loss in business for the last one year, he could not repay the loan and the finance companies had seized the tractor and were pressurising him to repay the dues, which must have led to his suicide, said the police. The Gudibande police have registered a case of unnatural death for further investigations.
(Those having suicidal tendencies can call Arogya Sahaya Vani on 104 for help.)
