Fearing ‘encounter’ over civil land dispute, Andhra farmer and family threaten suicide

Fearing an "encounter" over a civil land dispute in Andhra Pradesh's Kadapa district, a farmer and his family threatened to commit suicide.

A farmer and his family threatened suicide in a selfie video on Friday night in Mydukuru village of Andhra Pradesh’s Kadapa district. He alleged that a ruling party leader had encroached on his land with the help of a local inspector and threatened him with an encounter if he objected to the takeover.
