A 37-year-old woman from Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, ended her life after years of torment by moneylenders. What began as a ₹50,000 loan in 2016 spiraled into unbearable debt, relentless harassment, and even sexual abuse. Before taking the tragic step, she left behind a suicide note and video detailing the abuse.
The Arrests
Police have arrested five men linked to the case—allegedly responsible for extracting lakhs in interest, coercing signatures on blank cheques, and subjecting her to humiliation and harassment.
Why This Matters
This case isn’t just about one woman—it reflects deeper cracks:
Exploitative, unregulated moneylending 🏦
Vulnerability of rural borrowers 🌾
Abuse of power, both financial and sexual 💔
What Needs to Change
Stricter controls on moneylending practices
Support systems & helplines in villages
Swift justice to deter abusers
The Bigger Message
Krishnaveni’s story is a reminder that debt should never cost someone their dignity—or life. Behind every statistic is a human story, and her voice must not fade into silence.
