Gujarat: Farmer ends life as wife refuses to return

Vadodara: A 30-year-old farmer ended life at his house in Halol taluka of Panchmahal district in the wee hours of Sunday.

Police said Sunil Nayak had heated arguments with his wife Ganga over a petty issue a fortnight ago at their home at Pratappura village. Following the fight, Ganga decided to go and live with her parents.

A couple of days back, Sunil went to meet Ganga and tried convincing her to return with him. However, Ganga did not change her mind and asked Sunil to go home alone.

In the wee hours of Sunday, when his parents were asleep, Sunil hanged himself from a ceiling hook in his room. “During questioning, the deceased’s parents said he was depressed as his wife had gone away and refused to come back. He had been feeling low since a few days so he decided to take the extreme step,” said a police official.

A case of accidental death was registered at Halol Rural police station.
