One of the gunmen of Telangana education minister Sabitha Indra Reddy, Fazal Ali, committed suicide by shooting himself with his gun in Srinagar Colony of Hyderabad today.
Fazal Ali's daughter said that her father had committed suicide as he could not bear the harassment by bank officials.
She said that her father took loans from the Bank Of Baroda. "Most of the money was repaid by my father. However, he was forced to pay more money by the bank through the charging of higher interest rates. His entire salary used to go in paying EMIs. Recovery agents used to call my father and harass him to repay the loan amount. My father called me and asked me to accompany him, and shared some details of his financial difficulties. Later, he stepped aside for a bit saying that he would return in a while, and and shot himself with a gun," she claimed.
"With my father's death, our family is now on the road. I demand action against the banks who harassed my father. Minister Sabitha Indra Reddy should come to the rescue of my family now," she said.
