“Rajesh ended his life as he could not handle the harassment of ASI’s son Vinay,” she alleged, adding that Rajesh had registered losses in his business.

She also alleged that Vinay forced Rajesh to register his 1.12 acres of land gifted by his in-laws, situated at Uppera village in Peddapalli district, on his name following delay in payment of monthly interest of the loan. Vinay did not pay the remaining Rs.30 lakh relating to the cost of the land.

“Since his father was an ASI, he created a situation where we could not report this to anyone,” she said, demanding the police to take action against those responsible for the death of her husband.

Rajesh had resorted to the drastic step by jumping in a tank in Kukatpally after recording a selfie video narrating his ordeal. Kukatpally police registered a case and took up investigation.
