Yavatmal: A woman, who was part of the anti-liquor campaign at village Kalgaon of Mahagaon tehsil in Yavatmal, committed suicide on Tuesday due to alleged harassment by liquor mafia.Vishranti Kailas Chavan had led an anti-liquor rally to the police station on August 15 and demanded total ban on liquor in their village. Soon after that, the liquor lobby started harassing her and other activists. Finally, fed up of the harassment, Vishranti committed suicide by pouring kerosene and setting herself afire.Village Kalgaon is the native place of sitting BJP MLA of Umarkhed Rajendra Najardhane. Anti-liquor activists alleged that he is turning a blind eye to illegal liquor manufacturing in the village.The women in the village have taken out a number of protest rallies earlier too and submitted a memorandum of demands to the MLA and the authorities. They have requested a ban on country liquor distilling in the village, but there has been no action. The activists allege that officials have remained mute spectators as liquor traders and addicts torture women and children in many households.Swamini Daru Bandi Andolan Samiti convener Mahesh Pawar has, in a representation to SP M Rajkumar here on Wednesday, demanded a thorough inquiry into the circumstances that forced Vishranti to take the extreme step of committing suicide, and bring the guilty to book.Mahesh Pawar has also demanded immediate resignation of MLA Rajendra Najardhane on moral grounds, as village Kalgaon is his native village. “If the MLA does not even look after his native village, how can he do justice to the constituency?” Pawar said.
