A 23-year-old man from the Maratha community tragically ended his life in Maharashtra’s Nanded in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, allegedly due to the ongoing Maratha reservation issue. Dajiba Ramdas Kadam, a resident of Marlak village, had come to the city for some errands and reportedly consumed a poisonous substance in the Zenda Chowk area on November 11.
Discovered unconscious, Dajiba was quickly taken to a hospital. Despite efforts to save him, he succumbed to the poisoning on November 12, news agency PTI reported. A note found in his possession indicated the desperation for a government job, with the words, "This is a question of a government job for me. `Ek Maratha, lakh Maratha.`"
