A man allegedly died by suicide in Bhimadole police station in Andhra Pradesh's Eluru district on Wednesday.

"The accused was brought to the station on May 1 in a theft case. He had gone to take a bath on May 4 when the incident took place. He took a curtain along with him which he used as a pillow and hung himself inside the bathroom," Sharma said.
