ERODE: A 54-year-old man died by hanging himself in his house in Mullai Nagar here on Saturday after making a video indicating he had lost 62 lakh to DMK official Senthil Kumar, who ran an online lottery, and shared it on WhatsApp. The video went viral on social media. The North Erode police registered a case and opened an investigation.
A police officer identified the deceased as J Radhakrishnan, a thread broker. He is survived by his wife Malathi, 52, and two daughters. “Radhakrishnan ran a power loom unit, which he closed after suffering huge losses, before becoming a yarn commissioner.”
