Hyderabad, March 14 -- A woman farmer died by suicide in Telangana's Rangareddy district on Friday, March 13, due to alleged harassment by a financier over a loan of Rs 1 lakh.

The incident occurred in Tandur mandal. The deceased, Lakshmi, failed to repay the loan after she suffered losses due to crop failure. The financier, Hanumanthu, began pressurising Lakshmi to repay the loan despite being asked to grant some time.

According to the police, Hanumathu abused Lakshmi in front of the villagers, due to which the woman felt humiliated and took the extreme step by consuming pesticide.

The police registered a case and handed over the Lakshmis body to her family after the postmortem.
