A tragic incident unfolded this Saturday as K Anil Kumar, a councillor affiliated with the BJP, was discovered dead in his office, suspected to have died by suicide. The police, alerted to the scene, identified early signs of potential financial distress as a contributing factor.

The unsettling discovery drew local attention, with residents noting Kumar's presence at the office earlier in the morning. Reports from television channels suggest the existence of a suicide note near his body, allegedly containing accusations against BJP leaders, but this has yet to be verified by law enforcement.

BJP district president V V Rajesh acknowledged Kumar's anxiety over financial difficulties at a cooperative society he led, contributing to his mental distress. However, he did not comment on the supposed remarks against party leaders mentioned in the reported note.
