Sehore, Madhya Pradesh: A 52-year-old farmer allegedly committed suicide last night in Madhya Pradesh's Sehore, the hometown of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
Dhulichand allegedly took poison at his home in Rahata village of Sehore, but his family says a local doctor has refused to confirm that he died of poisoning. District collector Sudam Khaade says no poison was found during the autopsy.
"He had loans worth about 4 lakhs. He also had loans from the village. About 1-2 lakhs worth of money. All his crops had dried," his son said, asserting that his father was deeply stressed because of his debts.
The Chief Minister, who described himself as a farmer who understood the pain of the protesters, sat on a 'peace fast' over the weekend.
