A man took his own life after losing money on a cricket betting app and facing pressure to repay the amount.

 

The incident occurred in Anantapur district, Andhra Pradesh, India. The man, identified as Kishore Kumar from Kumara Street, lost money on the betting app.

 

He hanged himself at his home. Before his death, he wrote a note stating that he alone was responsible for the money he lost on the betting app.

 

His wife, Sunita, is a police officer in the YSR district, while Kishore worked for a private company and ran a waste engine oil business in Bangalore.

 

Locals said that Kishore and three other people had been betting money on the cricket app for some time.

 

He was under pressure to repay the money, and after a fight with those demanding payment, he became hopeless and took his own life.
