In another case, a youth named Sandip Parmar hanged himself at his home in Vejalpur on Tuesday, allegedly due to the harassment and torture by the Color Merchant Cooperative Bank. According to his brother Kuldeep Parmar, who filed a complaint against five people, Sandip had taken a loan of Rs 5 lakh from the bank and was unable to repay it due to the lockdown.

The police have registered a case of abetment of suicide and cheating against the accused.
In a third incident, a middle-aged man named Kanu Parmar killed himself in Davda village of Nadiad taluka of Kheda district on Monday, reportedly due to the social ostracism by his community.
