Couple dies by suicide after son decides to live with transperson
Kurnool: A couple in Nandyal, distressed by their son's decision to live with a transperson, died by suicide on Tuesday. Chittepu Subbarayudu, 45 and Saraswati, 37, residents of SBI Colony, have been running a flower and fruit stall, attempted suicide on Monday.
According to the police, the couple had two sons, one of whom died in a road accident earlier. The other son Sunil failed in his B.Tech course studies and currently works as an auto driver. He had recently become close with a transperson.
The couple had reprimanded Sunil for his associations and tried to distance him from the transgender community for a year. However, on Sunday evening, a transperson, along with others, visited the shop run by Saraswati and Subbarayudu and demanded repayment of money Sunil had borrowed. The couple promised to pay back the amount by January 10.
Followed by this, Sunil went to the transperson's house with the intention of staying there. Distressed, the couple called him to the police station on Monday. At the station, Sunil reportedly declared his decision to marry the transperson and said he no longer needed his parents.
Shaken by this, Saraswati and Subbarayudu tried to end their lives. They were rushed to the Nandyal General Hospital and later shifted to a private hospital as their condition worsened. On Tuesday, they were moved to the Kurnool General Hospital for advanced care but died during treatment. A case has been registered by Nandyal police and an investigation is underway. CI Ismail said the police are also investigating whether there were any other reasons behind the couple’s suicide.
