A 21-year-old youth from Andhra Pradesh had ended his life, leaving a selfie suicide note holding police responsible for his extreme step. The tragedy occurred in Bapatla town on Thursday morning.
The youth identified as Pedada Srinivas Rao (21) hanged himself from a tree at Bapatla new bus station in the morning.
Police in their statements the youth travelled from Chittoor district to his native Krishna district on a bicycle, violating the lockdown conditions. He is from a private company in Chittoor district.
