Sangrur, March 4

A 42-year-old farmer, Raghuvir Singh, committed suicide by hanging himself from a fan at his house in Nangla village last night.

The family saw his body in the morning and informed the police. Sources said he ended his life as he failed to repay a debt of Rs 5 lakh he had taken from a bank.

Bhartiya Kisan Union (Ugrahan), Lehragaga block, president Dharminder Singh Pashor said Raghuvir had only one acre and that too he had mortgaged to a bank some years ago and taken a loan of Rs 5 lakh. He used to work as a labourer in the fields of other farmers to repay his debt.

“However, for the past few days he was not getting proper work as a labourer,” said Pashor.
