Bhopal, July 2 (IANS) Mounting debt and crop losses led a farmer in Madhya Pradesh to commit suicide, officials said.

Brijmohan Patel, 40, from Gadaghat village in Hoshangabad district, drank pesticides on Sunday night, police told IANS. He was admitted to a hospital where he died late at night.

According to his relatives, Patel was troubled because he failed to repay the Rs 4 lakh loan he had taken due to poor yields.
