Shamshabad police have booked Yadav for abetment of suicide and launched an investigation.
Hyderabad:A 26-year-old driver from Shamshabad died by suicide on Saturday, allegedly after being harassed by a car dealer who failed to clear finance dues on a vehicle he had purchased.
The deceased, identified as Gunthapalli Saibaba of Thondupalli village, had bought a car on finance in 2022, registering it in his sister-in-law’s name. Police said that when he could not keep up with the payments, he sold the vehicle to Madhu Yadav, owner of MS Cars in LB Nagar, under an agreement that Yadav would pay the remaining instalments, though ownership was not transferred.
However, Yadav allegedly defaulted on the payments, leading finance companies to pursue Saibaba for the dues. Despite repeated reminders, Yadav allegedly told him he would not pay and asked him to “do whatever he wanted,” according to the complaint.
On Saturday evening, Saibaba called his wife to say he was ending his life. He was later found dead under a tree near the Maisamma temple, close to the Thondupalli railway bridge. Police recovered an open bottle of pesticide and a suicide note in Telugu naming Yadav. Shamshabad police have booked Yadav for abetment of suicide and launched an investigation.
