Alappuzha: Farmer commits suicide in Alappuzha Takazi. Prasad (55) of Thakazhi Kunumma Ambedkar Colony died.
He died this morning after taking poison while being treated in the hospital. Yesterday he tried to commit suicide by taking poison.
Prasad had received a PRS loan for the price of paddy procurement. But since the government did not repay the money, he did not get other loans.
It is indicated that suicide is due to grief. He is the in-charge of the BJP Farmers Association. Meanwhile, a voice recording of Prasad crying to someone else has come out. ‘I have failed, I am a farmer.
I cultivated several acres and gave the paddy to the government. The government did not give cash for rice. When I asked for the loan, they said that the arrears are PRS.
I stopped drinking 20 years ago and now started drinking again. I am a debtor, and you must say that the farmer committed suicide because of debt. I want you to come and lay the wreath’; It is in the sound record.
