Tragic Consequences of a Cooperative Society's Failure

A 46-year-old farmer in Maharashtra's Beed district died by suicide over the failure of a cooperative society to return his fixed deposit, according to police reports.

The farmer, Suresh Jadhav, sold family land to secure his children's educational future but faced unresponsive actions from the Chhatrapati Multistate Co-operative Society.

Police charged the society's former chairman with abetment to suicide, as Suresh's daughter, Sakshi, recounted their tragic losses—financial and paternal—due to unreturned funds.
