Telangana youth commits suicide in Hyderabad | Upset over the delay in the formation of the separate Telangana state, a youth reportedly committed suicide here on Wednesday. Bhooma Reddy, 24, a native of Adilabad
district,
who was pursuing a multimedia computer course in Hyderabad, was found hanging
on the ceiling fan at his room. "He was in his room in the night and he committed
suicide by hanging to the fan. When owner came and told us, we broke the door
and saw that he had hanged himself. We found a suicide note in his pocket that
said that for Telangana I am committing suicide. We will send the body for
post-mortem
and we will inform his parents as well," said A. Balakoti, Inspector General of
Police, Hyderabad. The Police Official added that the suicide note appealed to
the central government to immediately form Telangana or else more students would
give up their life for the cause. On Tuesday a meeting of eight major political
parties of Andhra Pradesh, convened by Home Minister P Chidambaram in New
Delhi,
to resolve differences over the demand for carving out a separate state of Telangana,
ended inconclusively. An Anti-Telangana delegation of Congress party from Andhra
Pradesh state also met Chidambaram. Chidambaram announced on December 9 that
the
process to carve Telangana state out of Andhra Pradesh, home to several major
international companies, would be initiated. Pro-Telangana activists have been
agitating since December 23 after the central government went slow on its promise
of creating a new state. The agitation for Telangana has resulted in series of
violent incidents in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad and some other
places in Andhra Pradesh.
