'Send Your Wife & Daughter': Harassed By Lenders, Local Official Of Vijay's TVK Dies By Suicide
The deceased ran a small business and worked at a chicken shop but was left paralysed after an accident, leaving him bedridden and unable to repay his Rs 3.8 lakh loan A tragic incident has emerged from Puducherry, where a 33-year-old man reportedly took his own life due to mounting pressure from multiple moneylenders. The deceased had borrowed Rs 3.8 lakh and was required to pay Rs 38,000 in interest each month, at a rate of 10 percent. The deceased was a local official of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), a political organisation initiated by Tamil actor Vijay. Before his death, the man left a suicide note in which he explained the circumstances that led to his tragic decision. In the note, he appealed to actor Vijay to look after his family. According to an NDTV report, the deceased ran a small business and also worked at a chicken shop. He was left paralysed after an accident, rendering him bedridden and unable to work, which in turn prevented him from repaying his loan. According to police sources, the deceased had named several moneylenders in his note, alleging they had compelled him to commit suicide. He described the intense stress he faced as he was unable to repay the loans. The suicide note further revealed that one moneylender had demanded the victim send his wife and daughter to his house until the outstanding amount was settled. The suicide note revealed that he was paying Rs 38,000 per month as interest on a Rs 3.8 lakh loan. Additionally, the man had to pay Rs 6,000 monthly interest on a separate loan of Rs 30,000, which equated to a 20 percent monthly interest rate. The harassment from moneylenders intensified following his paralysis, exacerbating his already dire situation.
