Youth blackmails married woman, father attempts suicide
Kakinada:A 25-year-old youth, S. Suresh, created a rift in a family by blackmailing a married woman, which led to her separation from her husband and drove her father to attempt suicide at Mirzapuram village in Nuzvid Rural mandal of Eluru district.
According to Nuzvid Rural police, Suresh had been harassing the woman by sending obscene photos to her mobile phone. When she ignored his advances, he sent photos taken with her before her marriage to her husband. Shocked, the husband, a resident of Mudinepalli mandal, abandoned his wife and two children at her parents’ home.
Enraged villagers tied Suresh to a pole and beat him severely. Meanwhile, the woman’s father, B. Srinivasa Rao, unable to bear the humiliation faced by his daughter, attempted suicide by consuming pesticides on Thursday.
Police have set up a picket in the village to prevent any untoward incidents. Nuzvid Rural police said a case has been registered and Suresh was arrested.
