Teenager found hanging in MLC’s flat

A 19-year-old youth was found hanging dead at a flat allotted to BJP MLC N. Ramachander Rao at MLA Quarters in Hyderguda on Friday.

Kurmaiah, a native of Mahbubnagar, was employed as office boy at the MLC’s flat for nearly two months. Police say he took a friend’s car out for a drive late on Thursday and rammed into two other vehicles, damaging them. “We think he feared the consequences of his actions and took the extreme step. There is no cause for suspicion of foul play at this stage,” said Abids ACP G. Bhiksham Reddy. Another employee at the flat found the teenager hanging and alerted the police, which alerted the family and sent the body for autopsy.
