Hyderabad: A day after a girl whom he loved committed suicide, a 23-year-old cab driver ended his life by jumping into a well at Ghatkesar.
According to Ghatkesar police, P. Shiva, 23, of Neredmet left home on Tuesday telling his aunt that he would return soon. At about 1 pm, Shiva called his friend Ramu and informed him that he would end his life.
It is learnt that Shiva was in love with a girl living in his neighbourhood. On Monday, the girl committed suicide due to some personal reasons. On learning this, he became upset.
“Shiva jumped into well at Gundigudem even as he was speaking. Ramu who heard the noise alerted the police. They rushed to the spot but Shiva was dead by then,” said Ghatkesar sub-inspector Ch Chandra Shekar. His body was fished out and handed over to his family members after the autopsy at Gandhi Hospital.
The SI said, “Shiva’s family members and friends are unaware of the particulars of that girl. He (Shiva) did not leave a note, but just called his friend and informed him.” A case has been registered under CrPC Section 174 (suspicious death).
