There was a complete chaos at the Aam Aadmi Party’s kisan rally after the farmer committed suicide by hanging himself from the tree during the rally. At around 1:30pm the man was noticed, most of the people thought he wants a better glimpse of the dais, with the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal who arrived few minutes earlier.

The man proceeded to use a white cloth that he was carrying to tie around his neck, and hung himself by both of his hands wrapped around the tree. Police personnel surrounded the tree in a semi circle and did not attempt to bring the man down.

Kumar Vishwas who had the mic as the event was just unrolled, first urged the man to come down. When the situation got serious, Kumar Vishwas then said the man can meet Arvind Kejriwal if that’s what he wanted, but asked him not to do anything serious”.

Vishwas realised that the man was motionless hanging from the tree, an irate Vishwas said “Waha police khadi hai apna kaam kyu nahi kar rahi” (Police is standing there, Why are you not doing your work?)

As the police stood motionless for about 10 minutes, five civilians one of them wearing AAP’s cap climbed up and tried to drag the man down. They succeeded to bring the man a down but a point they had to drop him down to the ground. He was rushed to the hospital. Some even said that as he was up he threw a note but could not be independently confirmed.

Crowd gathered increasingly irate at the police’s inactivity, which resulted in small scrimmage, pushing and thrusting between the police and the crowd.

Rally resumed once the body was taken away, but Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said that they                 (including Arvind Kejriwal) will go to the hospital.
