Hyderabad, March 25: Depressed over the delay in creation of separate Telangana, which shattered his dreams of getting a job that matched his qualification, a 27-year-old ended his life at Ibrahimpatnam near here on Wednesday morning.
Narala Tirumalesh, who completed his engineering three years ago, hanged himself to death from the ceiling fan in his house at Uppariguda in Ibrahimpatnam.
According to the police, Tirumalesh completed his B.Tech from a private college three years ago. He, however, could not secure a job that suited his qualification and was employed in a private mobile phone company.
Tirumalesh dreamt of supporting his family financially after completing his engineering.
His father, Janardhan, is an RTC driver, and his mother, Veeramma, is a contract sweeper.
As he did not venture out of his room since morning, the family members forced open the doors and found Tirumalesh hanging from the ceiling fan.
Police found a suicide note purportedly written by Tirumalesh in which he stated that he was depressed over the delay in creation of Telangana State. “I dreamt that several people like me would get decent jobs in a separate state of Telangana. But my dreams were shattered with the delay in formation of Telangana,” Ibrahimpatnam police sub-inspector K Kanakaiah said, quoting from the suicide note.
The body was shifted to the government hospital at Ibrahimpatnam for autopsy. In the evening, locals and pro-Telangana activists carried Tirumalesh’s body in procession from the hospital to the village for the last rites. Additional forces were deployed in Ibrahimpatnam and Uppariguda.
