Kurnool: A 20-year-old youth P. Hanumanthu of Chintakunta village in Kosigi mandal, who attempted to die by suicide, passed away on Sunday.
According to the police, Hanumanthu had been residing in Mallannahatti in Kowthalam mandal with his grandparents for the past few years. He had been allegedly in a relationship with a girl from Mallannahatti.
However, the girl allegedly accused him of cheating and lodged a complaint against him with police. Disturbed by the incident, Hanumanthu on Saturday went to Rangappagattu hills near his village, where he recorded a selfie video, before attempting to die by suicide.
Locals, who saw him in an unconscious state, alerted police. They rushed him to the hospital for treatment. Hanumanthu, however, succumbed on Sunday.
Police have registered a case and are investigating.
