Daijiworld Media Network – Kasargod (SP)

Kasargod, Dec 29: Kanakattody Radhakrishna Shetty (60)  committed suicide by consuming poison on Sunday December 27, after being unable to repay the bank loan raised by him. Shetty had been the recipient of the ‘best farmer’ award from Bellur region some years back.

Shetty, a progressive farmer, had raised loan from a bank to develop his land. Because of this year’s untimely rains, his crops were destroyed and he was unable to repay the loan. His family members said that he was going through mental agony, after receiving repeated notices from the bank to repay his loan.

Radhakrishna was the president of Vishnumurty Dhoomavati Daivasthana in Kinningar. He is survived by wife, Maina Shetty and three children.
