RAJANNA-SIRCILLA : Unable to bear the burden of mounting debts, a powerloom owner and his wife allegedly hanged themselves to death at their residence in Vempeta, Sircilla town, on Saturday afternoon.
According to sources, the victims — Bhairi Amar, 48, and Sravanthi, 45 — were under financial distress owing to the downturn in the powerloom sector and did not have any work orders from the government or private organisation for months. They are survived by their three children.
