In a shocking piece of news, a man in Tamil Nadu had committed suicide by consuming poison pills after his wife had lost in the urban local body polls that were held last Saturday. The development has stunned the state and the police have launched a probe into the death. 

According to our sources, ADMK candidate Suguna had contested for the post of Councillor in ward 19 in the Sattur municipality, Virudhunagar. Suguna had served as the Councillor two times previously in the ADMK's ticket and she had again won the ticket to contest in the recently held local body polls. She had contested from ward 19 and during the polls, the ward had recorded 930 votes. 

The votes were counted on Tuesday across the state and DMK has recorded a landslide victory. In ward 19 of Sattur, Suguna had got 215 votes while her rival DMK candidate Subitha got 280 votes and defeated the former. As Suguna had lost the polls in her home turf, she had faced a setback and her husband Nagaraj had consumed poison pills following his wife's defeat and committed suicide. 

After knowing that Nagaraj had attempted to end his life, his relatives had taken him to a private hospital for treatments. However, despite the treatment, Nagaraj didn't respond and had breathed his last. The demise after his wife's defeat had quickly drawn attention and has become the talk of the town. Following the incident, the Sattur town police department had lodged a case and initiated a probe into his death.
