Jagvir Singh of Ikla village in Masuri police station area later told police that he was under a huge debt for over a decade.
He said that his agricultural land was acquired along with that of 18 other farmers more than a decade ago to set up Hi-tech City on National Highway-24. The developers didn't pay him a single penny in compensation and all his attempts in this direction proved futile, Jagvir claimed.
The farmer said that he had raised a loan from private moneylenders but had not been able to pay back since he did not get his compensation money, Kavi Nagar SHO Pradeep Kumar Tripathi said.
A case has been registered regarding the incident.
