Officials found fewer than stipulated minimum applications for the particular shop
A man, who applied for grant of licence to open a liquor outlet in Sarangapur mandal, caused a flutter by allegedly attempting suicide in Jagtial town in protest against the postponement of draw of lots for the particular liquor shop for want of the required number of applications on Saturday.
In sharp contrast to huge response for the auction of liquor outlets elsewhere in the district and State, the liquor shop in Sarangapur mandal received only six applications as against the stipulated minimum number of 10 applications, required to conduct draw of lots, sources said.
Minutes after the postponement of the draw of lots for the Sarangapur shop, an aggrieved applicant ran out of the venue on the Gollapally road in Jagtial and doused himself with petrol in an adjoining agricultural field.
