A 52-year-old farmer allegedly died by suicide near Tikri border -- one of the protest site in Delhi. His body was found hanging from a tree near a bus stand in the area on Sunday morning.
The farmer, identified as Karmveer Singh, has three daughters, other farmers at the site said.
Karmveer hanged himself using a plastic rope. Police were informed soon after others came to know about the incident.
"The farmer, Karamveer Singh, hailed from a village in Jind. He was found hanging from a tree in a park, which is around two kilometres away from the Tikri border," news agency PTI quoted police as saying.
Police also recovered a suicide note from the spot.
The farmer, in his suicide, hailed farmers' body Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) and said, "Bharatiya Kisan Union zindabad. Sarkar tareek par tareek deti jaa rahi hai. Iska koi andaza nahi hai ki kaale kanoon kab radd hoga. [Hail Bharatiya Kisan Union. The government has only been giving dates after dates. There's no idea when these black laws will be repealed]"
His body has been sent to a civil hospital for post-mortem. Police said that autopsy will be done only after the arrival of the farmer's family members.
Thousands of farmers have been protesting against three farms laws recently enacted by the Centre.
