Retired Andhra judge, wife commit suicide in succession, bodies found on railway tracks
New Delhi : A retired judge and his wife were found dead on the railway track outside Andhra Pradesh’s temple town of Tirupati on Friday, allegedly having committed suicide in quick succession, police said.
Deputy superintendent of police, railways, Ramesh Babu said the mutilated bodies of Pamuluru Sudhakar (62) and his wife Varalakshmi (56) were recovered from the railway tracks near Chadalavada Engineering College in Renigunta, 10 km from Tirupati. Both seemed to have died within a few hours of each other.
Sudhakar, who retired as additional district judge, allegedly committed suicide in the forenoon by throwing himself under a train, police said. In his suicide note, he said he was ending his life as he was unable to bear the trauma of the kidney ailment he was suffering from for a long time.
As his son Sandeep and daughter Sabitha, who are both working as software professionals in Bengaluru, rushed home on hearing the tragic news, Varalakshmi went to the same spot and ended her life in a similar fashion, the DSP said.
The couple were living in an apartment at Tiruchanuru alone after Sudhakar’s retirement. The bodies were sent for post-mortem and case was under investigation, the police added.

Karnataka govt revokes suspension of DGP Ramachandra Rao, reinstates him
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka government on Wednesday revoked the suspension order of DGP K Ramachandra Rao and reinstated him into service with immediate effect.
According to the official order, the 1993-batch IPS officer has been posted, with immediate effect and until further orders, as Director General of Police (Police Manual).
"The post of Director General of Police (Police Manual) is declared equivalent in status and responsibilities to the cadre post of Director General of Police, Criminal Investigation Department, Special Units and Economic Offences, Bengaluru, under Rule 12 of the IPS (Pay) Rules, 2016, as included in Schedule II of the said rules," the government order stated.
Rao, who was then serving as Director General of Police (Civil Rights Enforcement), was placed under suspension with immediate effect on January 19, citing conduct unbecoming of a government servant and causing embarrassment to the state administration.
News channels had beamed videos purportedly showing Rao in a compromising position with women. The videos had also gone viral on social media.
Rao is the stepfather of Kannada actress Harshavardhini Ranya, alias Ranya Rao, who is accused of orchestrating the illegal import of gold worth over Rs 12.56 crore from Dubai to India along with two others--businessman Tarun Raju and jewellery dealer Sahil Jain.
Ranya was apprehended at Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport on March 3, 2025, with 14.8 kilograms of gold allegedly smuggled from Dubai.
