COIMBATORE: Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) candidate P Mani, 57, who had contested in the just concluded urban local body polls from ward 36 in Tirupur City Municipal Corporation and lost his deposit, died by suicide.
Police said Mani was a loadman and was the member of actor Kamal Haasan’s MNM. He had allegedly borrowed a loan of Rs 50,000 to meet the election expenses.
Mani secured only 44 votes in the election and lost his deposit. DMK candidate P Divakaran secured 3,319 votes, and AIADMK candidate R Rajagopal secured 1,838 votes. Rest of the six candidates lost their deposits in the election.
After he was defeated in the election, Mani was depressed and seen in an inebriated condition often. His wife Subbathal fought with him and left for her elder brother’s house in the city on Thursday night.
Mani was alone at his residence at Konganagiri and locked the door from inside. He was said to be in an inebriated condition. He hanged himself from the roof of the tiled house with a nylon rope.
On Friday morning, neighbours knocked on the door, but there was no response. So they broke open the door and found him hanging.
The Tirupur North police were informed. The police rushed to the spot and sent the body to the Tirupur Government Medical College Hospital for postmortem.
The police registered a case under Section 174 of the CrPC. They were probing whether he took the extreme step due to his financial situation or because of this his failure in the urban local body election.
