Pradeep Kumar's wife and one of his friends saw him hanging from a ceiling fan late last night. They brought him down and took him to a hospital where doctors pronounced him as dead, Narsingi Police Station Inspector P Ramchander Rao said.
"Though the exact reasons behind Pradeep's extreme step are still not known, the couple had a minor quarrel last night," the Inspector said.
There are no visible injuries on the body, the police officer said adding only after post-mortem, the cause of death will be determined. A case has been booked under section 174 of the CrPC and further probe is on.
