Andhra couple dies by suicide after son insists on marrying transgender
India TodayA middle-aged couple from Andhra Pradesh’s Nandyal district allegedly died by suicide following ongoing conflicts with their 24-year-old son over his relationship with a transgender person. According to Nandyal Sub-Divisional Police Officer P Srinivas Reddy, 45-year-old Subba Rayudu and his 38-year-old wife Saraswati’s deaths came after months of disputes surrounding their son, Sunil Kumar, who had been associating with the local transgender community for the past three years. An investigation also uncovered that Kumar had spent Rs 1.5 lakh belonging to members of the transgender community, leading them to demand repayment from his parents. This financial dispute, along with public insults directed at his parents by the transgender community, reportedly exacerbated the couple’s emotional strain, ultimately contributing to their decision.
