According to the details received in this regard, a farmer named Danabhai Nathabhai Babaria (48), living in Shergarh village of Keshod taluka of Junagadh district, strangulated himself with a rope tied to a neem tree near his house.

On getting information about this matter, the family members immediately took Danabhai to the hospital in a private vehicle. Where the doctor on duty declared him dead. At present, Keshod police has recorded the statement of the family members in this case.

During preliminary enquiry, the deceased Danabhai had sown groundnut crop in 10 bighas. However, his crop got damaged due to incessant rains, due to which he remained silent for the last one week. The deceased has four daughters, two of whom are married, which shows that he took this step due to financial constraints.
