Madhya Pradesh farmer commits suicide in Shivpuri
Shivpuri (Madhya Pradesh) [India] June 16, (ANI) : An indebted farmer unable to pay off a loan of Rs.40,000, has committed suicide in Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh.

"My father was under debt of Rs. 40,000. The crop is not improving since three years and due to this he committed suicide", said his son.
Between 2014 and 2016, 15,614 farmers have committed suicide. (ANI)
