A revenue department officer reportedly ended his life by jumping in front of a moving train at the Coimbatore Junction on Sunday morning. The officer, identified as G. Dhakshinamoorthy (43), an assistant to the Tahsildar of Kinathukadavu Taluk, is suspected to have taken the extreme step as he was unable to repay the loans he had taken.
It is learnt that he and his relative were into online trading for two years. While his relative withdrew from the business as they were incurring losses, Dhakshinamoorthy continued trading in the name of his wife, Kavitha.
The mounting losses reached about Rs. 1.5 crore and he could not repay the amount he had borrowed from his friends and relatives.
