Telangana shocker: Man dies of heart attack after news about 'T'

There is no let up in the protests in Rayalaseema and Andhra regions of the state, a week after the centre decided to carve out separate Telangana state out of Andhra Pradesh.

For the seventh day in a row, protestors took to the streets and laid siege to the houses of elected representatives demanding their resignations to stall the process for formation of separate state.

Police said the protests have largely been peaceful. However, reports of some people allegedly committing suicide or dying of 'shock' over bifurcation continued to trickle in.

A youth attempted self-immolation in East Godavari district on Tuesday while a 40-year-old man, allegedly unable to accept state's division, died of cardiac arrest in West Godavari district.
