A family tragedy unfolded in Nandyal district as a middle-aged couple reportedly died by suicide after facing turmoil due to their son's relationship with a transgender person. The couple's son, Sunil Kumar, has been involved with the local transgender community, leading to frequent disputes at home.

Nandyal sub-divisional police officer P Srinivas Reddy stated that the couple took this drastic step in response to mounting societal pressure. Kumar's insistence on marrying a transgender person and past attempts at suicide over the issue were troubling signs, according to authorities.
