His family members add that even the bank was putting pressure on him to return the money and as Kapoor was not in a condition to return it, he decided to end his life.

Rahul Gandhi had adopted the village in 2007 following a spate of suicides by farmers. He had then reportedly announced that he would not allow any farmer to commit suicide in the village.
