Telangana man ends life after father fails to buy him luxury car

A 21-year-old man allegedly died by suicide in Siddipet district of Telangana after his father, who worked as a farm labourer, could not afford to buy him a luxury car, citing his financial condition, police said on Monday.

The incident happened at Chatlapally village on May 30. The man went to his agricultural field and consumed an unknown pesticide. Later, he went to his house and informed his parents that he had taken the extreme step, they said.

He was taken to a hospital and died while undergoing treatment on May 31, police said.

The man had discontinued his studies. He was addicted to alcohol and his mental condition was not stable. He used to argue with his parents, demanding luxury things, including a modern house and a luxury car, a police official at Jagadevpur police station said.

Due to financial inability, his parents tried to convince him. However, he refused and insisted on buying the luxury car. They went to Siddipet on May 30 and offered to purchase another car, but the man refused it and later in the afternoon consumed the “poisonous” substance, police said.

The deceased's father lodged a complaint and a case was registered.
