Depressed over daughter’s murder, Telangana man commits ‘suicide’

Hyderabad, July 11 (IANS) A Telangana government employee allegedly committed suicide on Saturday, 10 days after his five-year-old daughter was murdered by one of the two paramours of his wife.

Kalyan jumped on to the tracks before an approaching train near Bhuvanagiri railway station.
