Taunted over caste, man kills himself

Allegedly vexed with constants taunts regarding his community by his
in-laws, a 35-year-old man committed suicide by hanging himself at
Mansurabad under LB Nagar police station limits on Saturday. According
to LB Nagar police sub inspector Sai Prakash Goud, J. Pradeep Kumar
took the extreme step after frequent quarrels between him and his wife
Mohini Reddy as he was discriminated against by her and his in-laws
since he belonged to the Madiga community.
The police said that Pradeep had fallen in love with Mohini and
married her seven years ago. The cops quoted his parents saying that
he went to the extent of changing his name and moving in with Mohini's
family after marriage. However, he was never fully welcomed by the
family and the couple had frequent fights over the issue.
Late on Friday night, after a fight with his wife, Pradeep hanged
himself from the dining room ceiling using a saree. His body was
discovered by his wife and aunt in the morning. Mohini's aunt cut off
the saree, and the body fell to the floor. Pradeep's wife, children
and aunt then left the place and went to some relative's house out of
fear, the police said. Pradeep's parents, who arrived later, raised
doubts over his death, but the post mortem report confirmed suicide.
However, the cops registered a case under Section 174 CrPc and are
investigating.
