A farmer allegedly committed suicide over loan burden at Digambarpur village under the Dharmasala police limits in Jajpur district on Sunday night.
The deceased was identified as Sisir Khatua (38).
According to family sources, the farmer had taken loan from private moneylenders for agriculture on four to five acres of land.
On Sunday night, he went out of the house and took the extreme step in a nearby room as he was unable to repay the loan amount.
Khatua was found hanging in the room on Monday morning.
Though his relatives rushed him to the Dharamsala hospital, the doctor there declared him ‘brought dead’.
Police started investigation into the incident and sent the body for postmortem.
