Nizamabad: In yet another incident of torture by moneylenders, a man died by suicide at Ashoksagar in Yedapally mandal. The deceased was identified as Syed Habib Azahar, 32, of Autonagar in Nizamabad.
Sources said Syed left home on Tuesday and was found dead in Ashoksagar lake. The body was retrieved from waters on Wednesday and shifted for post-mortem to Government General Hospital in Nizamabad.
Syed borrowed a hand loan of Rs 3 lakh from Sheik Arshad Ali of Phulong in the town, which he repaid after a brief delay. However, Ali, along with his uncle—a police department employee—allegedly harassed Syed, demanding additional payments as penal interest.
It is believed that unable to bear the harassment, Syed died by suicide.
