Elderly Woman Dies by Suicide After Double Voting Notice
A 61-year-old woman named Monari Radhamma died by suicide after she was accused of voting twice in an election.
She had moved to a new village but her name was still on the voter list of her old village.
When she voted in her new village, someone who lost the election by just one vote said she and others had voted twice.
The court sent her a notice to appear, and she became very worried.
The loser's family allegedly threatened her, and she couldn't handle the stress.
Her body was found in a canal, and the police are now investigating the threats made against her.
Monari Radhamma, 61, died by suicide after receiving a legal notice for alleged double voting in the gram panchayat elections.
Radhamma had voted in her new residence in Rangapur while her name was still on the electoral rolls in her previous village, Gollapalli.
Kaliboina Narendar, a defeated sarpanch candidate, accused Radhamma and seven others of double voting, leading to his narrow defeat by one vote.
The court issued notices to the accused, including Radhamma, to appear for a hearing next month.
Radhamma faced alleged harassment and death threats from Narendar's brother, Vijendar, which contributed to her mental distress and subsequent suicide.
