The deceased is Naganna. He owned 1acre land in the village, and had availed agriculture loan of Rs 80,000 from Besuru Primary Agriculture Cooperative Society. Naganna’s son is suffering from prolonged illness, while his daughter had undergone a surgery recently.

It is said the mounting debts — to the tune of Rs 3 lakh — had left him depressed. On Thursday morning, Naganna went to his field and consumed poison. He was given first-aid at a hospital in Shanivarsanthe before being shifted to Hassan. However, he died there as he could respond to treatment. Naganna is survived by his wife and two children.

A case has been filed at Shanivarsanthe police station.
