A local trader allegedly attempted suicide on Facebook Live, accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his poor financial condition. His wife, who also consumed poison, died.
Superintendent of Police, Neeraj Kumar Jadaun, confirmed the incident on Wednesday and said the condition of Rajiv Tomar (40), who ran a shoe-shop, is serious.&nbsp;
The incident took place on Tuesday after Rajiv started a Facebook Live during which he consumed poison.&nbsp;
After failing to stop her husband, Tomar&rsquo;s wife, Poonam, also consumed poison. Both were rushed to a private hospital where Poonam died.&nbsp;
In the purported video, Rajiv held PM Modi responsible for his financial condition. &ldquo;Modiji will be responsible for my death. If Modi ji has any shame, he will change things. I am not saying he is wrong on everything but he is not a well-wisher of small traders and farmers,&rdquo; he said.&nbsp;
When Poonam tried to stop him, Tomar said, &ldquo;Government to sunti nahi tum hi sun lo&rdquo; (the government doesn&rsquo;t hear us, at least you should hear).
Rajiv ran a shoe shop and the lockdown in 2020 had ruined his business, his family members said. A large number of shoes in his shop were damaged as it was closed for a long period, they said. He also had taken loans which he could not pay off, they said, adding that Rajiv had two sons.&nbsp;
