Sukhuram, 60, consumed pesticide Sunday afternoon in Durg town, headquarters of Durg district, some 40 km from here. He died on way to hospital.
"We are probing the death, we found a suicide letter in which began with words 'Naman to Baba Ramdev' but in the entire letter he narrated his personal land-related problem as the reason for the extreme step," Amit Kumar, superintendent of police, Durg district, told IANS over phone.
Local media reported Monday that the man might have taken the step in protest against the Delhi Police action against Ramdev past-midnight Saturday.
