A man died by suicide in Bharuch after allegedly facing constant pressure from Nabipur Police officers to restart the illegal liquor trade. The victim, Kirtan Vasava (45), reportedly consumed poison in at a farm on the day of Holi (March 14) and left behind a suicide note.

The note detailed severe allegations, stating that the Police officers repeatedly pressured him to engage in liquor sales and harassed him when he refused.

Kirtan Vasava left his home in Kavitha village on Friday, the day of Dhuleti (Holi festival). Later in the evening, he sent a WhatsApp audio message to his brother, Chandrakant Vasava, informing him that he had consumed poison in Navin Patel’s field.

Alarmed by the message, Chandrakant, along with Vasava’s daughter Hiral and other family members, rushed to the location. Upon arrival, they found Vasava in an unconscious state. He was immediately taken to a private hospital, where doctors declared him dead. His body was later sent to Bharuch Civil Hospital for post-mortem.

A suicide note was found in Vasava’s pocket. In the note, he accused Inspector M K Parmar and constables Rajendrasinh and Sandip of repeatedly pressuring him to restart the liquor trade. He mentioned that the police harassed him and his family, even using abusive language .

“They want me to continue the liquor trade. If I refuse, they still demand money from me. They have made my life unbearable in the village. I am ending my life because I can no longer take this pressure. My only request is that after I am gone, my family should not be harassed. I hope my plea reaches the SP Sir, and justice is served.” stated Vasava in his note.

Vasava’s daughter, Hiral, filed a formal complaint. Based on her statement, Inspector M K Parmar, constables Rajendrasinh, and Sandip have been booked under charges of abetment of suicide.
