A 75-year-old farmer protesting against the Centre’s new agri laws allegedly hanged himself at the Uttar Pradesh-Delhi border in Ghazipur on Saturday morning.
Sardar Kashmir Singh, a native of Bilaspur in Uttar Pradesh’s Rampur district, hanged himself in a mobile toilet using a rope, police said.
Deputy Superintendent of Police of Indirapuram Anshu Jain told PTI that a suicide note written in Gurumukhi was found on him.
Singh wrote in the suicide note that the government must repeal these farm laws as these are against the interests of farmers, according to a leader of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU).
PILIBHIT: After the Uttar Pradesh-Delhi border, Pilibhit has now emerged as another flashpoint in the ongoing farmers’ protest. After UP Police stopped movement of around 200 farmers from Pilibhit, who were headed to the Delhi border with tractors full of essential supplies for the protesters, there were skirmishes leading to Moradabad SSP receiving injuries. Farmers, however, have claimed that the local police “acted like rioters” to stop their movement and lathi-charged them twice between Monday and Tuesday.
Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee president Manjinder Singh Sirsa, who rushed to the spot on getting the information, termed the action of the local police a “reminder of British Raj”.
