Farmer commits suicide in Kota

Distressed over not being able to fetch a good price for his crop, a 48-year-old farmer committed suicide in Kishanganj village here.

Banwari Lal Dhakad (48), hanged himself at his residence in the village, the police said.

The farmer owned around 2 bighas of land. He had rented another 8 bighas of land for growing garlic. But he could not fetch a good price for the produce. He was tensed over it, his family members claimed.

The police, however, said the farmer did not depend only on agriculture for livelihood.

A case of suicide has been registered at the Budadeet police station.
