K V Giri, who was a local leader of Kerala Congress (B), died by suicide at a parallel college in Puthiyakavu, where he used to take classes, on Wednesday evening. A resident of Choottayil, Giri has been in dire financial straits following his elder daughter's marriage 18 months ago, family sources said. The government had taken over the documents from the public, whose land was marked for acquisition, in June 2023.
Since the government had virtually taken over the land, Giri could not sell it nor mortgage it. He was also struggling to find funds for the marriage of his younger daughter, which further agonised him, the family sources added.
