Mango Farmer and Family Found Dead in Wanaparthy; Police Open Investigation

Police are investigating local claims that heavy farm losses, alleged lender recovery actions, and village harassment preceded the deaths.

Overview

  • Local reports say a farmer identified as 40-year-old Chetla Narasimlu, his wife Yellamma, and their two teenage children were found dead at a leased mango orchard in Salkapur village.
  • Reports allege Narasimlu bound his wife and children and pushed them into a water sump before taking his own life, though forensic details and causes of death await police confirmation.
  • Family sources and local accounts link the deaths to severe losses from mango cultivation and mounting debt on the leased 150-acre orchard.
  • Witnesses and villagers told reporters that recovery agents from a finance company posted notices, seized household items worth nearly Rs.2 lakh, and that Narasimlu recorded a video saying he would end his life.
  • Police in Wanaparthy have registered a case and opened a probe into the incident and are working to verify the reported lender actions, seized goods, video message, and other claims.
