Hyderabad: Distressed over losses in online betting, a 35-year-old man died by suicide in Hyderabad’s Miyapur on March 21.
The man, G Papaiah, was a resident of BK Enclave in Miyapur and addicted to online betting. Papaiah had borrowed money from his friends as he wanted to gain higher returns. However, he was unable to repay the loans due to losses in online betting.
