Hyderabad: Upset over his girlfriend not taking phone calls, a 23-year-old auto rickshaw driver died by suicide at his house in Sanathnagar on Sunday night.
The deceased, M Vinod Kumar, earned his livelihood by driving an auto rickshaw. A few months ago, he befriended a 21-year-old Pooja who is pursuing a B Pharmacy course. Their friendship soon turned into romance.
On Saturday night, Pooja informed Vinod that she was leaving for her native place for some work. On Sunday, Vinod tried to contact her but the calls went unanswered.
“In the night, Vinod sent a WhatsApp video to Pooja saying he would hang himself. On seeing it, Pooja informed a local, who rushed to Vonod’s house only to see him hanging by the ceiling fan,” said Sanathnagar police.
A case has been registered.
