Guna incident: 'My son consumed poison after being thrashed', says victim's mother

A farmer allegedly consumed pesticide in Madhya Pradesh's Guna after police tried to evict his family from a piece of government-owned land using brutal force.

Mother of the victim farmer said, "70 policemen came and asked us to vacate land saying it belongs to government.

We requested them to let us reap agriculture produce first.

But they started abusing and beating us.

My son took poison in anger but police ignored.

We admitted him to hospital."
