Hyderabad: A man took a selfie before hanging himself at his house in Uppal on Thursday. K. Krishna Kumar, 28, a cab driver, wrote in his suicide note that he was suffering from personal and financial problems. When police checked his phone, a selfie, in which he was seen with a noose around his neck and waving goodbye, was found. His wife and kids were not at home when the incident occured.
According to police, Kumar was found hanging at his rented home in Ramanthapur by his family members. Kumar had been upset because of his financial problems and his inability to properly take care of his family. Three days ago, Kumar’s wife Aruna and their two kids went to her maternal home. Kumar was alone in the flat and did not report for duty.
A native of Chityal in Nalgonda district, Kumar came to Hyderabad in search for a livelihood with his wife and children. He was working as a private cab driver staying in a rented place at Srinivasapuram in Ram-anthapur under Uppal police station limits.
“Kumar tied a towel around his neck and took a selfie from his phone. He then waved to his family members. He kept the phone in his pocket and hanged himself. A suicide note, found in a room, said nobody was responsible,” an officer from Uppal police said.
Kumar’s wife Aruna said her husband had been complaining about the financial stress and was depressed about his life. She said that her husband used to tell her that he cannot live like this for a long time and would commit suicide. “I thought he will come out of the stress, but did not,” she said.
