‘We are retrieving the phone call data of the victim’, says DSP Vijay Paul
An engineering graduate, M. Rohit (22), who reportedly lost money in cricket betting, died by suicide. He was a resident of Krishna district.
The victim, who was in business, came into contact with a few bookies and invested money. To recover from losses, he reportedly borrowed loans from some online apps.
The bookies and the loan app organisers were mounting pressure to clear the loan amount for the last few days. Unable to bear the torture, Rohit took his own life. He died in the early hours on Friday, while undergoing treatment in a hospital, said his family members.
“Following a complaint, the police registered a case and took up investigation. We are trying to retrieve the phone call data of the victim. A detailed investigation is on,” said Gannavaram Deputy Superintendent of Police K. Vijay Paul.
