In Kushinagar district of Uttar Pradesh, the CO gave tips to the villagers to commit suicide. Khadda CO Umesh Chand Bhatt along with the revenue team had reached Rampur Gonha village to remove illegal encroachments on government land. During this time he gave this absurd advice to the people of the village. He had talked about dying by holding the electric wire. On this advice the villagers have expressed their displeasure against the CO. At the same time, a video of CO giving advice is also going viral.
Eviction notice was sent by the tehsil to 15 families living in Gram Sabha Rampur Gonha village of Khadda tehsil of Kushinagar district. The administration says that these people have illegally occupied government land. Therefore they will have to move away from this. With the intention of removing encroachment, Khadda SDM Rishabh Pundir along with police and revenue team officials reached Rampur Gonha village. CO Umesh Chand Bhatt had also arrived along with the SDM.
CO suggested suicide
As soon as they reached the village, people started telling their problems to SDM Rishabh Pundir. Being troubled by the words of the people, the CO said that this is government land. It will have to be emptied. As soon as she heard the CO’s words, a distressed woman said, ‘Where should we go?’ It would have been better if the government had shot us. Further the woman says that when there will be no farm left, what will we do by staying alive. As soon as he heard what the people said, CO Saheb became enraged and suggested the villagers to commit suicide.
Video went viral
On talking about the woman being shot, the CO told the woman that many trains were going, there were many electric wires. A video of this entire incident is now going viral on social media, in which the CO is seen giving tips for suicide. The villagers say that he has been living on this land for a long time. The government should consider settling us instead of removing us.
