The recovery team ‘created a scene’ in front of the farmer’s relatives at his house in a village in Bijnor hours before his niece’s wedding.

Lucknow: A 43-year-old debt-ridden farmer committed suicide in Uttar Pradesh’s (UP) Bijnor district on Friday after being allegedly humiliated by the loan recovery team of the village cooperative society.

A resident of Hasanpur Jat village, under Haldaur Police Station, Revati Singh had taken a loan of about Rs 1 lakh from the cooperative society in 2016. He had been paying the instalments on time except in the last couple of months due to financial crises, one of his relatives said.

According to his neighbours, Singh felt insulted after the recovery team allegedly created a scene in front of his relatives at his house while he was busy preparing for his niece’s wedding ceremony. The officials left after he assured them of repaying the instalments by night.

Later, a humiliated Singh consumed poison at night, according to one relative. He is survived by two children and a wife.

The police, which have not registered a case against the recovery team, said that he committed suicide out of frustration at being unable to pay the instalments in the last few months.
