Hyderabad: A
family of four, including two children, took their lives on November 3 by
jumping in front of a moving train near the Panyam railway station in Kurnool.
After their deaths, a video of the family emerged which
they filmed before death.
The family filmed the video alleging being harassed by
police. In the video, Abdul Salaam, head of the family alleged being physical
and mental abuse by Nandyal town police inspector Somsekhar Reddy and constable
Gangadhar.
Abdul Salaam who was an auto driver was investigated by
cops in a theft case.
Salaam was involved in two theft cases. Before working
as an auto driver he worked at a jewelry shop in Nandyal's Rojakunta area. He
was then arrested in a case of stealing 3 kg gold from the shop but later he
came out on bail.
About a week ago, a passenger in Salaam's auto accused
him of Rs 70,000 theft, and the police booked him.
On both occasions, Salaam was beaten and humiliated by
the police.
Fearing police crackdown and left scarred by the
humiliation, Salaam and his family decided to commit suicide.
In the video, Salaam can be heard saying, "I
haven't done anything wrong. I have nothing to do with either theft. I can no
longer bear the torture. No one will help us. That's why at least death will
bring us some peace of mind."
