New Delhi/IBNS: A 35-year-old farmers died by committing suicide over alleged harassment by an electricity distribution company in a village in Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur district.

The farmer, identified as Munendra Rajput, has left behind a suicide note addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

He requested PM Modi to hand over his body to the government to "sell every part of my body and repay dues".

"When there are scams by big politicians and businessmen, government employees don't take any action. If they take a loan, they get enough time to repay or the loan is waived. But if a poor person takes even a small amount of loan, the government would never ask him as to why he was not able to repay the loan. Instead, he is insulted in public," the farmer wrote in the note.

According to the family, Rajput's crop was spoiled and as a result, he was unable to pay the electricity bill.

Later, the company issued a notice to collect Rs. 87,000 in dues, the farmer's family said.

A few days later, Rajput's flour mill and motorcycle were seized.

The farmer is survived by three daughters and a son, all below 16 years old.

The police said they are investigating the matter.
