Medak: A young tenant farmer died, allegedly by suicide, at Kothapally village in Papannapet mandal after he suffered huge losses in farming as the village witnessed hailstorms during March-April this year.
Tappa Mallesham (38), a resident of Kothapally village, had taken a piece of land on lease from a farmer last year. Since his ready-to-harvest paddy was damaged during the Yasangi season when the area witnessed hailstorms, Mallesham had a poor yield.
Mallesham is said to have attempted suicide by consuming pesticide at his agriculture field on May 30. He breathed his last on Sunday while undergoing treatment in a hospital.
A case has been registered.
