Kanakaiah, who owns only two acres of land, ekes out a livelihood by cultivating the land and working as a labourer in the village as well. Johnny, on the other hand, had discontinued his studies and was staying at home doing nothing.

Citing their financial inability to buy a BMW, the parents finally agreed to buy him a Maruti Swift Dzire car and even took him to a showroom in Siddipet on Friday.

However, Johnny refused to accept their proposal and returned home without buying the car. He consumed weedicide on Friday night, after which the parents rushed him to the government hospital in Gajwel. He was later shifted to RVM Hospital in Mulug where he breathed his last on Saturday night.

The parents said their son always wanted to lead a luxurious life. He wanted to buy a BMW and build a ‘modern’ house by selling their two acres of land, which they refused to do.

The police have registered a case. A probe is on.
