Karimnagar: Mild tension prevailed in Rahimkhanpet of Illanthakunta mandal when the family members and relatives of Rebbala Vamshi, who committed suicide, staged protest along with his body in the village on Sunday night. Vamshi, who consumed pesticide on Saturday night, breathed his last while undergoing treatment in Karimnagar hospital on Sunday.

A tractor driver by profession, Vamshi used to work on a tractor owned by Enugula Malreddy and lost one of his hands while working on the tractor three months ago. Malreddy in the presence of village elders promised to provide compensation to Vamshi. As he failed to get compensation, Vamshi staged a protest in front of Malreddy’s house. But he was removed by the police. Disappointed over the incident and unable to feed his family, he took an extreme step.
