Sannaboina Chinna Babu (23), a resident of Thotaveedhi, a Dalit colony, in the One Town area of Nandyal, died by suicide on June 20 (Tuesday).
In a selfie video he purportedly recorded prior to jumping before a running train, Chinna Babu alleged that he was forced to take the extreme step as the Nandyal One Town police had tortured him to confess that he lifted a bike, a crime that he did not commit.
Meanwhile, Nandyal Deputy Superintendent of Police C. Maheswara Reddy told The Hindu that the “allegation of Chinna Babu is absolutely wrong.”
