Mumbai- A 45-year-old farmer tragically ended his life in front of revenue officials in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district who had arrived to conduct a survey following his complaint about waterlogging in his farmland, a senior revenue official said on Wednesday.

The incident occurred around 2 p.m. in Khadgaon village on Tuesday and has been registered as an accidental death at the Pachod police station, which falls under the jurisdiction of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar rural police.

“We received a complaint from the farmer, Sanjay Kohakade, regarding water entering his farm. He had also requested the construction of a road to access his land. The waterlogging was caused by channels dug on both sides of the road. Circle Officer Shubhangi Shinde and Talathi Laxmikant Gojare visited Khadgaon to conduct a survey around 2 p.m. on Tuesday,” a senior revenue official told PTI.

While the discussion was underway, the farmer suddenly jumped into a well located on his own farm. He sustained a head injury during the incident and later succumbed to it. An inquiry will be conducted, the official added.

A senior police official confirmed that an accidental death report has been filed at Pachod police station, and further investigation is ongoing.
