A 65-year-old farmer, facing financial problems, allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself from a tree in Rajasthan's Jhalawar district.
Bagdi Lal Teli was found hanging from the tree in Sunail area last evening.
His son, Vishnu Teli, rushed him to hospital where he was declared dead, SHO Sunail Police Station Bhanwar Singh said.
"His son informed that the family has been facing financial crunch for some time and his father had also taken a loan," he said.
The body has been handed over to family members after post-mortem.
Meanwhile, PCC President Sachin Pilot condoled the incident and held the state government responsible for deaths of farmers.
"Three debt-ridden farmers in the state have committed suicides in one week. Farmers are agitating for their justified demands but the government is ignorant towards their issues," Pilot claimed in a statement.
He said that the government should help farmers financially.
