Recently, About three farmers in Sehore district of Bhopal committed suicide. The kind of explanation Madhya Pradesh Government has given for it left everyone stunned.

While answering the question raised by Congress legislator Shailendra Patel in state assembly, The Home Department told farmers had committed suicide under the influence of ghosts. Soon, The Congress MLA asked, 'Does this mean BJP Government believes in ghosts and spirits?'.

Congress demanded Ruling BJP to disclose the exact number of suicides took place in the state between January 1st, 2014 to June 30th, 2016.

Home Minister Bhupendra Singh revealed that 418 suicides took place in Sehore alone in the past 3 years. He explained, Three persons committed suicide after seeing ghosts and reason behind 117 other suicides isn't yet known. None of the 418 people committed suicide for crop failure and not even one among them is a farmer. Details of the deceased and the reason quoted by their family members for the suicide have been mentioned.
