Mah: Farmer hires helicopter at Rs 85k/hr for daughter's marriage farewell

Nanded, Feb 16 (UNI) A farmer became talk of the town here after he hired a helicopter at whopping Rs 85,000 per hour to bid adieu to his daughter as she was tied in a nuptial knot with an engineer hailing from the neighbouring Hingoli district.

Vilasrao Kadam, a farmer from Kondha village in Ardhapur tehsil, enthralled not only the marriage invitees but also other villagers who flocked to witness the helicopter's landing near the venue in Mahadev Pimpalgaon, three km away from this city.

Several thousand spectators were in awe of Mr Kadam who gave a splendid flip to heart-wrenching image of a debt-ridden farmer reeling under financial woes and ultimately ending his life.
