Amid farmer protests at Tikri border near Delhi, a senior lawyer allegedly committed suicide by consuming poison at the protest site on Sunday morning. The police have reportedly recovered a suicide note from the lawyers pocket describing Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a ?dictator. 


The lawyer, identified as Amarjit Singh, was a part of a group consisting of other lawyers from Punjabs Jalalabad in Fazilka district. The group had joined protesting farmers against the farm laws passed by the Modi government. 

A member of the Bar Association from Jalalabad informed that Singh reportedly consumed poison near Bibi Gulab Kaur stage at the border. He was immediately taken to Rohtak’s Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, where he breathed his last. 

We have informed the relatives of the deceased. Once they reach here, their statements will be recorded and further proceedings will be conducted, PTI quoted a police officer from Haryana’s Jhajjar district as saying.

A suicide note addressed to Modi, The Dictator? was recovered from the lawyers pocket. Singh had mentioned in the note that he sacrificing himself in support of the protests. The letter was typewritten and dated December 18, with the advocates signature. 

The letter read: The General Public of India has given you absolute majority, power and faith for saving and prospering their life. But with great sorrow and pains, I have to write that you have become the Prime Minister of special groups like Ambani and Adani etc.

The letter further read: The common people like farmers and labourers are feeling defrauded by your three agriculture black bills and the worst life is inevitable. The public is on tracks (sic) and roads not for votes but for the livelihood of their families and generations. In order to feed some capitalists you have destroyed the common people and agriculture, which is the backbone of India.

Kindly do not snatch the bread and butter (Roti) of farmers, labourers and common people for a few capitalists and do not compel them to eat sulphos (read: celphos, a fumigant). Socially you have betrayed the public and politically you have betrayed your associate parties like SAD.

Listen, the voice of the people is the voice of God. It is said that you wish for sacrifices like Godhra and I also offer my sacrifice in support of this worldwide agitation for the shaking of your deaf and dumb conscience.

In this month, this is the third alleged suicide, which is linked to the farmer protests. Earlier a Sikh preacher, Sant Ram Singh, died after he allegedly shot himself near the Singhu border protest site. The preacher claimed that he was ?unable to bear the pain of the farmers. Apart from him, a 22-year-old farmer also allegedly died by suicide in Punjabs Bathinda after his return from the protest site near the Delhi border.

In the most unbelievable incident ever, four men were arrested for allegedly raping a Bengal monitor lizard in Sahyadri Tiger Reserve (STR). The reserve is spread over four districts of Satara, Sangli, Kolhapur and Ratnagiri in Maharashtra.

The gruesome incident took place at Gothane village in Ratnagiri district on March 31 when the four accused illegally entered Chandoli National Park (part of the reserve). One of the four was also carrying a gun for hunting.

The Maharashtra Forest Department checked the mobile phone of one of the accused and that’s when he learnt about the incident. The officials found the recording of the act, which showed the accused allegedly gang-raping the monitor lizard.

A forest official said the four accused were identified as Sandeep Tukaram Pawar, Mangesh Kamtekar, Akshay Kamtekar and Ramesh Ghag.

The official said, “During the investigation, the forest officials found that the accused had allegedly raped a Bengal monitor lizard. Their act was also recorded in a mobile phone of one of the accused persons. We have recovered all the related evidence from the accused and they were granted forest department custody initially, but are out on bail now. They have been asked to mark their presence before the forest officer, who is probing the case, every Monday.”
