Migrant walking to Gondia kills self
Hit hard by the lockdown, a Maharashtrian migrant worker, who had started walking back home from Hyderabad in Telangana, committed suicide by hanging himself from a tree in a farm under Girad police station in Wardha district, Maharashtra on Thursday.
Girad police confirmed that 45-year-old Amarsingh Madavi, a resident of Chillari, Gondia district of Maharashtra, had been walking from Hyderabad when, on the way, he decided to end his life.
“Around 5pm on Thursday, Ajay Zade, a farmer, called us with the information about a man’s suicide and, upon reaching the spot, we found that Madavi had hung himself using a towel,” said Girad police station assistant police inspector Mahendra Suryavanshi.
Finding a mobile in Madavi’s pocket, Suryavanshi spoke to his family members and asked them to come to the spot. “After postmortem at Samudrapur rural hospital, the body was handed over to the kin on Friday,” he said.
“He told a friend that he had lost his job in Hyderabad after the lockdown and was also running short of cash. Hence he chose to walk back home,” said Suryavanshi.
Sources informed that Madavi was part of a group of around 20 migrants walking back to Maharashtra.
