Karnam Ravikumar (45), a farmer, committed suicide by consuming pesticide late on Thursday night. The incident took place at Boguda Bhupathipur village in Haveli Ghanpur mandal of Medak district on Friday morning.
Police reportedly seized a letter written by him addressing Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao.
“Dear KCR Sir, you have asked us to go for fine variety during rainy season. Not only yield was less but also there was no support price. My field was with full of water and how can I pay to land owner? I can cultivate only paddy and nothing else in field. My father is not getting pension though he was 67 years old,” said Ravi Kumar in the letter purportedly written by him to the Chief Minister.
