Hyderabad:An 18-year-old degree student died by suicide under Uppal police on Thursday, allegedly after falling into heavy financial losses due to online betting. The deceased, Arun, a resident of KCR Nagar, Ramantapur, was pursuing his first year of graduation at a college Dilsukhnagar. According to police, he had frequently used his mother’s bank account to place bets and reportedly lost a large sum of money.
On Thursday, Arun’s mother left for work around 10 am, leaving him at home. When she returned at 11.30 am, she found the main door locked from the inside. When he did not respond, neighbours helped her break open the door. Arun was found unresponsive on the floor, and the police were immediately alerted.
Uppal police shifted the body for post-mortem and registered a case based on his mother’s complaint. Preliminary findings indicate that financial losses and psychological distress from online betting drove him to take the extreme step. Police said further investigation is underway and urged parents to monitor their children’s online activity and financial transactions, as the growing lure of digital betting continues to claim young lives.
