Gajendra Singh, a farmer from Rajasthan, hangs himself from a tree as he commits suicide during Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)'s rally against the Union government's Land Acquisition Bill at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.
According to reports, Singh climbed up a tree, used his cloth to make a noose, and hanged himself in full public view.
Even though AAP volunteers tried to stop the man and immediately brought him down, he was declared dead on arrival at Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital.
Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, who visited the hospital along with deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, blamed the Delhi Police for not saving the man.
“We kept asking the police to bring him down. Police may not be in our control but at least there should be a semblance of humanity among them,” said Kejriwal.
AAP leader and Malviya Nagar MLA Somnath Bharti termed the suicide a ‘conspiracy’. “Disturbing n shocked to see a young man attempting to commit suicide by hanging from the tree. It seems to be a well thought conspiracy,” he tweeted.
