A body was found hanging at near Singhu border in Haryana’s Kundli police station area on Wednesday. This comes days after a Dalit labourer was lynched at the farmers’ protest site.
The man has been identified as Gurpreet Singh (45), a resident of Roorkee village in Fatehgarh Sahib’s Amroh district. He is said to be a part of Sidhpur’s Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) unit that is headed by Jagjit Singh Dallewal.
According to preliminary information, the man is suspected to have died by suicide. Police has sent the body for post-mortem, while investigation is underway.
Last week, a 65-year-old farmer allegedly hung himself from a tree in his field at Jamunia village in Madhya Pradesh’s Raisen district. Khalan Singh, a kin of the deceased Gore Lal Lodhi, told reporters his uncle ended his life as he was distressed on being unable to pay bank loans totaling Rs 10 lakh. However, this claim was denied by the police, with Additional Superintendent of Police Amrit Meena stating that Lodhi’s family, in their initial statements, had not mentioned that the farmer had taken loans.
