Raipur: A probe was
launched Monday into a suicide by a man said to be a follower of
Baba Ramdev. Police said he took the extreme step due to
land-related problems, but the local media speculated he might
have done so due to the police evicting the yoga guru from Delhi's
Ramlila Ground where he was protesting against graft.
Sukhuram, 60, consumed pesticide Sunday afternoon in Durg town,
headquarters of Durg district, some 40 km from here. He died on
way to hospital.
"We are probing the death, we found a suicide letter in which
began with words 'Naman to Baba Ramdev' but in the entire letter
he narrated his personal land-related problem as the reason for
the extreme step," Amit Kumar, superintendent of police, Durg
district, told IANS over phone.
Local media reported Monday that the man might have taken the step
in protest against the Delhi Police action against Ramdev
past-midnight Saturday.
