Techie ends life in Warangal

Warangal: A youth's obduracy for high speed bike led him to end his life on Monday. 20-year-old Praneeth Koduri, studying B Tech second year in a private college at Narsampet, took the extreme step when his father Sadaiah, a local TRS leader, refused to buy his favourite bike.

Dejected by his father's refusal to fetch him a bike, Praneeth committed suicide by jumping before a running train at Chinthalapalli railway station in Sangem mandal of Warangal Rural district. According to details, Praneeth, a native of Sangem village, has been after his father to get him a high-speed bike for the last three months.

However, Sadaiah, who was against it, had been telling his son to concentrate on his academics instead of being passionate about bikes. It's learnt that Praneeth has some backlogs to clear. Recently, Sadaiah purchased a smart phone for his son.

Against this backdrop, Praneeth went missing in the morning. Suspicious over this, his parents and friends launched a massive search for him. According to his parents, Praneeth looked as usual this morning. Meanwhile, the Government Railway Police (GRP) who found Praneeth's body on the railway track near Chintapally railway station, informed his parents.

On the other hand, it's learnt that Praneeth was in depression after a girl whom he loved a lot turned down him. Following which Praneeth may have taken the extreme step, his friends said. The GRP police sent the body to the MGM hospital for postmortem.
