Sehore Couple Suicide: MP Congress Leaders Gift INR 5 Lakh Piggybank to Kids of Couple Who Ended Life After Accusing ED and Some BJP Members of Harassment

Bhopal, December 18: Congress leaders have gifted a Rs 5 lakh ‘gullak’ (piggybank) to the children of a couple who committed suicide after accusing the ED and some BJP members of harassment in Madhya Pradesh’s Sehore district.

They said the gesture was in keeping with sentiments of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, to whom these children had gifted their piggybank when he visited the state as part of his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. Madhya Pradesh: 40-Year-Old Woman Dies by Suicide After Requesting Husband To Sleep With Other Wife in Patan, Probe On.

Former minister Sajjan Singh Verma, state Congress media department’s chairman Mukesh Nayak and other party leaders reached Ashta town in Sehore district on Tuesday to meet the two children of the deceased businessman Manoj Parmar and his wife Neha.

They presented the kids a piggybank of Rs 5 lakh. Talking to reporters in Ashta town, Verma said “As per sentiments of respected Rahul Gandhi, the Congress has fulfilled its duty by gifting a piggybank to the children and will support them in their hour of crisis and grief. We will also take the responsibility of their education and other needs.” Madhya Pradesh: Man Has Toes Amputed After He Jumps in Front of Jhansi-Etawah Express in Failed Suicide Bid Over Unemployment (Watch Video).

He slammed the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for doing politics on the issue instead of sympathising with the children. The couple’s children had gifted their piggybank to Gandhi during his foot march and were fondly called a “gullak team,” said Congress leaders.

Manoj Parmar and his wife were found hanging at their home in Ashta town on last Friday. In a purported suicide note that surfaced on social media, Parmar alleged he was being harassed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and BJP leaders. Parmar also urged Gandhi and other Congress leaders to take care of his two school-going children.

State minister Prahlad Singh Patel had rubbished the allegations that the ED and BJP leaders harassed the couple. According to the ED, its Bhopal zonal official carried out searches on December 5 at four premises in Sehore and Indore districts in connection with a matter of Parmar and others under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.

The search covered residential premises of the key persons who were beneficiaries of the proceeds of crime or actively aided or abetted such persons in a bank fraud case, the ED had said in a statement, claiming to have recovered incriminating documents.

As per the ED’s statement, the agency launched an investigation based on an FIR registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against Parmar and a senior branch manager of state-run bank PNB.
