Former village panchayat president ends life in Tiruvarur
A 60-year-old shopkeeper and former panchayat president from Nemmeli village near Mannargudi allegedly ended his life on Monday, reportedly due to pressure from private bank over pending loan repayments. The deceased, identified as Jegatheesan, was running a grocery store in the village and had reportedly taken a loan from a private microfinance firm for expanding his business. According to his family, bank representatives visited his home and allegedly warned him they would return in the evening to collect the dues. Distressed over the exchange, Jegatheesan left home saying he was going to purchase supplies and later ended his life near a private Higher Secondary School grounds in Mannargudi. He was found unconscious by local residents and rushed to the Government Hospital in Mannargudi, where he was declared brought dead. His son, Abishek, has filed a police complaint demanding action against those he holds responsible for his father's death. The body was sent for post-mortem. Police have registered a case under BNSS Section 194 and said all angles are being investigated. 'The matter is under investigation,' Superintendent of Police Garad Karun told The Hindu. Meanwhile, P.R. Pandian, General Secretary of the Tamil Nadu Cauvery Farmers Association, condemned the incident and said: 'This is not an isolated case. Similar loan-related deaths have occurred elsewhere. The government must enforce stricter control over private recovery practices and ensure compensation for the family.'
