Gujarati father takes his own life over daughter’s college tuition fees; BJP, AAP argue

An argument between the BJP and the Aam Aadmi Party was sparked for a father who allegedly committed suicide in Tapi, Gujarat, on Saturday after becoming upset over having to pay his daughter’s tuition.

According to PTI, Bakul Patel, 46, took his own life on December 15 in Goddha village by ingesting pesticide.

The police report says, Patel committed suicide ‘because he was concerned about paying for his daughter’s college costs.’

It has not been determined whether that is what led to the apparent suicide, though.

Manish Sisodia, a key AAP leader and the deputy chief minister of Delhi, commented on a news article about Patel’s passing by saying it was disgusting that such an incident had happened in the twenty-first century.

The deceased was well-known to BJP MLA Mohan Dhodiya, who represents the Mahuva (scheduled tribe) seat. In response, he claimed that despite the reasons cited by police, the deceased never showed signs of stress.
