Shamed by garbage truck, Andhra farmer commits suicide
Hyderabad, Mar 30(IBNS) A poultry farmer in Andhra Pradesh's Chittor district allegedly committed suicide on Sunday after a garbage truck was parked in front of his home to shame him into paying taxes.
Adinarayana, 45, reportedly owed four lakhs as property tax for his poultry farm located in Punganur town.
Reports quoted municipal officials as saying that Adinarayana had pleaded for more time after he missed the deadline to pay the taxes. However, on Sunday, local municipal officials decided that he should be publicly highlighted as a tax defaulter.
