Farmer jumps to death from Indore hospital
Indore: A farmer, reportedly facing loan
burden, first consumed poison and then jumped to death Friday morning from the hospital where he was admitted, police said.
Rajesh Patidar, a resident of Jamli village, about 40
km from here, was admitted to a private hospital here after he
consumed poison. But finding himself alone, he jumped from the
fifth floor of the hospital, police officer T S Baghel said.
The 40-year-old was admitted to the ICU where he was
declared dead, he said, adding a case of suicide has been
lodged.
Quoting the deceased's relatives, Baghel said Patidar
was reportedly facing severe financial crisis due to mounting
loans which ran into lakhs. He had recently sold a 'bigha' of
agricultural land to reduce the loan burden.
