Debt-ridden farmer kills self
A debt-ridden farmer allegedly committed suicide in Akkelpur upazila of Joypurhat early yesterday.
The victim was Md Belal Hossain, 40, son of late Abdul Aziz of North Naldanga village in the upazila.
Sourav Hossain, elder son of Belal, said his father took Tk 2 lakh loan with high interest from different non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the last one year and invested the money in farming. He could not repay the loan instalments due to various reasons.
Belal's uncle Abdul Gafur said his nephew went to bed on Tuesday night after taking his meal. They found him hanging from a mango tree early in the morning.
