VC Sajjanar urges youth to avoid easy money traps after Hyderabad student's death
A recent tragic incident in Hyderabad, where a 22-year-old agriculture student, Sirikonda Nikhil Rao, took his own life after accumulating significant debts from online betting, has prompted warnings from Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) Managing Director Sajjanar. Nikhil, who had been clearing his debts previously, was overwhelmed by the pressure and chose to return to his village instead of continuing his studies. He tragically jumped into an agricultural well, leading to his death. Sajjanar, in a social media post, has expressed concern about the dangers of online betting and urged young people not to fall prey to the allure of quick money. He emphasizes the devastating impact it can have on individuals and families, as seen in Nikhil's case.12:18 PM Mar 11, 2025 IST
