UP farmer dies by suicide, blames BJP leader in note to CM Yogi Adityanath

A farmer killed himself by jumping in front of a speeding train in Kanpur after accusing a local BJP leader and two other persons of grabbing his land.

The deceased was identified as Babu Singh Yadav, a resident of Chakeri in Kanpur.

He left a suicide note addressed to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in which he said that BJP leader Priya Ranjan Diwakar grabbed his 6.5 bigha agricultural land by giving him a bogus cheque of Rs 6.29 crore.

"When I complained to the police, they did not listen. Hurt by this injustice, I am committing suicide. If possible, please get justice for my children," Babu wrote in the note. "Honorable Yogi ji, my complaint is that in your state, your own party members do not follow your own laws," the suicide note read, as per The Times of India.

A case of abetment to suicide and cheating has been filed against six persons, including Diwakar, his nephew Jitendra, driver Bablu, Noida businessman Rahul Jain, Madhur Pandey and Shivam Singh Chauhan, said police.
