Andhra Pradesh: Family of 4 including 2 children commits suicide

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."
