Cricket betting: Engineering student ends life

Cricket betting claimed the life of an engineering student, who came from a poor economic background at Devarakonda in Nalgonda district on Wednesday.

According to reports, Bhagyaraj, a final year engineering student, son of a farm labourer, studying at Chevvella in Rangareddy district, committed suicide by hanging himself. The suicide note he left behind in the room said he lost Rs 2.5 lakh in the IPL match betting. 

As pressure mounted on him from those who had lent money, he took the extreme step in his friend’s room in Devarakonda. In the note, he mentioned the names of six of his friends from LB Nagar in Hyderabad who gave him money as a loan. Shocked by their son’s suicide, the parents of Bhagyaraj are wailing uncontrollably. “We think he will come and solve our financial problems after getting a job, but he left us forever,” tragedy-stricken Bhagyaraj’s father said.
