This is the second incident after a fresh agitation
was launched by TRS demanding seperate statehood.

On December 1, a constable had committed suicide by
shooting himself in support of Telangana at Kamareddy town in
Nizamabad district.

In the suicide note, the constable wrote--"Jai
Telangana" and stated "I am dying for the cause of separate
Telangana."

TRS President K Chandrasekhar Rao who is on a
fast-unto-death is undergoing treatment at the Nizams
Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) hospital here after being
shifted from Khammam government hospital.
