Hyderabad: A man allegedly died by suicide in Hyderabad on Tuesday night, March 10, leaving a note blaming his wife, a Circle Inspector in the Telangana Excise Department, and her family members for his death. A case of abetment to suicide has since been registered against her.
S Srinivas, 41, a native of Ramakrishnapur village in Mandamarri mandal, Mancherial district, was found hanging at his residence on the night of March 10. He and S Jyothi, the accused, had been married since 2012 and have a son.
According to reports, Srinivas, a private sector employee, had actively supported his wife’s bid for a government job, helping her prepare for competitive examinations. Jyothi subsequently cleared the Telangana Public Service Commission examination, was appointed Sub-Inspector in the Excise Department and was later promoted to Circle Inspector.
Their relationship reportedly began to deteriorate after her promotion, with Srinivas allegedly being neglected and Jyothi said to have stopped returning home. The situation worsened after she lodged a dowry harassment case against him.
The Neredmet Circle Inspector told Siasat.com that a case of abetment to suicide had been registered against Jyothi and her relatives based on a complaint filed by Srinivas’s brother, Shiva Krishna. “Nobody has been taken into custody as of Thursday evening (March 12) and an investigation is on,” he said.
