ALAPPUZHA: Farmer Prasad who committed suicide on Saturday had talked with a Kisan Sangh leader just before ending his life, and now this audio tape has been leaked.

“ I have failed. I farmed in acres of land and all the harvest was given to the government. I received no money from the government. I have paid all loans but when I ask now, they are not willing to allow me loans saying there are arrears pending due to PRS. You people should fight for me. When I die, please come and lay a wreath on my body”

“Rs 5 lakh is due in my name. The government has not paid back anything to me. My loan will be free only if the government pays back the amount to the bank. I have taken huge credit from the ‘blade gang’. I have no means to live”

“I have a wife and family. If you can help them in any way, you should.” Prasad ended up the call right after this.
