Bengaluru, Aug 23: A couple from Mavalli near Lalbaug here ended their lives by hanging themselves, allegedly due to harassment by the corporator representing Hemmigapura ward Arya Srinivas and three others, over loans.

Nanjundaswamy (47) and his wife, Pushpalata (45), residents of Mavalli, chose to commit suicide. The couple hanged themselves by using a single sari on the night of Monday August 21 at about 10 pm when no one was around.

In a death note they left behind, the couple held corporator, Arya Srinivas, K G Krishna, Deve Gowda and Tejaswini Gowda responsible for their deaths, adding that they w ere harassing them repeatedly relating to a loan.

Nanjundaswamy used to operate a non-vegetarian restaurant at Kalasipalya. The couple have a son and a daughter. His son also had raised heavy loan for business and other personal reasons, the police have found out.

Reacting to the incident, corporator Arya Srinivas claimed he was unaware of the reason for mentioning his name in the death note. He sought detailed investigation to find out the truth.

Speaking to media persons, Srinivas said that he knew the family of Nanjundaswamy since the last 18 years and that in the past he had land and financial dealings with Nanjundaswamy till 30 months back, after which there were no dealings between them.

"Nanjundaswamy came to my home last Friday and sought some money. I had told him to come after Ganesha Chaturthi festival," he said.

He clarified that during his recent telephonic conversation with the family of Nanjundaswamy, financial affairs were not discussed. "Our dealings are clear and I do not know why he mentioned my name in the death note along with some others. I do not know the other persons mentioned there. I demand a suitable probe into everything," he said.

Kalasipalya station police personnel said that they have registered the case and taken up investigation. They are yet to pool together loans raised, how was to be repaid, from whom finance was raised etc, it is gathered.

    Here I will not blame the corporater even the couple accusedhim.Why did they took the loan which they could not pay back,and his son too was deep in depth.When one takes a loan,should be aware that whether they can pay back atleast half of it.otherwise let it.when one doesnt have the means ,to pay back,shouldnt try at all.Business is not always successful when one doesnt have a experience,taktic,save.Then to blame the loan giver is the least method ,to proove that they are not successful.Noone is ready to lend money and sit quiet ,and wait that he brings it back.All are not paying back .May their souls rest in peace.I pity the loan lenders.

    You are right. Everybody wants to make money by hook or by crook. These real estate companies are a curse on the middle class people. Once you approach them and show interest in their property, then the never ending trouble starts for the buyer. They keep demanding money without giving anything in return. Bangalore is suffocating the educated middle-class people who wants to settle in Bangalore.

    You are right. Even if someone has enough capital/cash flow schrued or intelligent buisness minded person would not take a risk to put all the money in business. Borrowing is sensible and that is how busines empires are running all over India.
    But Vijay Mally is not like that !
    He played his cards well and now the governmet is chasing to catch his tail.

    It is a lesson to people who take loan on high interest. See the following, I got from some papers.

    "It is a rule . . . in all the world that interest is to be paid on borrowed money. May I say something about interest? Interest never sleeps nor sickens nor dies; it never goes to the hospital; it works on Sundays and holidays; it never takes a vacation; it never visits nor travels . . . it has no love, no sympathy; it is as hard and soulless as a granite cliff. Once in debt, interest is your companion every minute of the day and night; you cannot shun it or slip away from it; you cannot dismiss it; it yields neither to entreaties, demands nor orders; and whenever you get in its way or cross its course or fail to meet its demands, it crushes you.”

    you must be aware of how the meter interest works. If they borrowed just 10 lak, it turns into 45lak in matter of 3-4 years. the financiers are like vultures.. so there is a possibility that they are blackmailed with huge interest. the couple are not doing drama with some sleeping pills. they are just dead, it is so painful.. ..there is more possibility of truth in their version than a dirty poiticians version in my view.

    Borrowing money to finance small scale business remains a burden unless business runs well. As reported, even their son also is involved in debts. May God give strength to the surviving members to overcome the shock and especially, their son to remain diligent in his business venture?

    Flavian,
    From ages, our elders kept on saying ' haasige iddashte kaalu chaachu'. Those who followed it to the letters, stood stagnant in their lives. Those who crossed the advice with calculated risks, became successful in life.
    But when people borrow without any plans, things go worse. No one can start a business completely with other's money. If you want to borrow to start a business, atleast you should have more than fifty percent of your money. If not, borrowed money is spent more on other expenses than business and ultimately leads into disasters.
