    What's the story

    A teacher died by suicide in Rohtak, Haryana by consuming poison on Tuesday in support of the farmers protesting against the farm laws, police said.

    Shortly before his death, Mukesh uploaded a video on social media, expressing his solidarity with the farmers who are protesting against the farm laws that were passed by the Centre government last year in the month of September.

    Police's actions

    Police received information about video, tried to stop the suicide

    Rohtak Deputy Superintendent of Police Gorakhpal said as soon as police received information that a middle-aged man had uploaded some video on a social networking site stating that he wanted to take the extreme step, they immediately swung into action.

    "However, when we reached the site, he had consumed poison. We rushed him to the PGIMS, but he had already died," the DSP said.
