Police said Ramesh Chandu Rathod, 35, of Tegampura tanda in Bhalki taluk died after consuming poison. Mr Rathod, who is survived by his wife, two sons and two daughters, owned one acre, but had borrowed Rs 15,000 from Bidar DCC bank. Soon after he drank poison, he was rushed to the government Hospital in Bidar, but succumbed soon.
