On May 2, a 60-year-old rickshaw puller in Dachepalli of Andhra Pradesh’s Guntur district raped a nine-year-old girl. Following which, the man allegedly committed suicide on Friday.
The body was found hanging off a tree in a field near Amaralingeshwara Swamy temple between Daida and Telikutla villages in the afternoon.
