HYDERABAD, India - A political candidate shot and killed himself Friday after hearing that he lost in India's parliamentary elections, police said.
K. M. Rahmatullah of the Telugu Desam Party committed suicide in his home in southern India, said Anil Kumar, superintendent of police.
He sought election in Andraha Pradesh state legislature, but lost to D. Narayan Reddy of the victorious Congress party of Sonia Gandhi.
