A man in Palnadu district died by suicide amid allegations of police harassment, though local authorities have denied these claims. Police have registered a case and are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death and the disputed land case.
Why it matters
The case highlights tensions between public grievances regarding police conduct and official administrative denials in local land disputes.
A man ended his life under suspicious circumstances at Piduguralla in Palnadu district on Wednesday, amid allegations that he blamed police harassment in a purported suicide note.
However, police denied the allegations, stating that no summons had been issued to the deceased and that the note was yet to be verified.
According to police, the deceased, Sk. Dariya Hussain, was not called for questioning. Gurazala DSP M. Maheswara Rao said only Amarunnisa Begum, wife of Dariya Hussain, had been asked to appear before the Piduguralla police in connection with a land dispute.
Explaining the background, the DSP said Prasanth, son of P. Lakshmi, had purchased a 78-square-yard plot from Masthan Bi and later entered into an agreement to sell it to Amarunnisa Begum after receiving an advance.
Subsequently, the land was included in the prohibited list under Section 22-A, following which the remaining sale consideration was allegedly withheld.
