A 36-year-old farmer committed suicide by hanging himself in his residence at Ojhar near here, police said today.
 
The incident occurred last night, they said.
 
Sandeep Nimbalkar was frustrated as his crops got damaged in the untimely rains and was unable to pay off his loan that he had taken from a society, they said.
 
With this, five farmers have committed suicide in the district within a fortnight, police added.
