25 lakh to his wife Krishnaveni during the 11-day ceremony organized after the death on Sunday. While Rs.10 lakh each was deposited in the name of Srinivas’s two children Srihanshu and Loukyasri and Rs.
5 lakh in the name of Krishnaveni, said Society member BSS Varaprasad. He said Srinivas was bold enough to tackle even difficult situations. “We were shocked when we came to know that Srinivas consumed poison.

“We use the amount to help the family of any 2014-batch SI, who is facing health problems or in case of sudden death of any society member,” he explained. The family members said Srinivas attempted suicide on June 30 by consuming poison as he was unable to bear the alleged humiliation of Circle Inspector J Jitender Reddy and other staff members.
