The suicide note of the Madhya Pradesh businessman, who made headlines in the national media by presenting a piggy bank to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi during the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, is very explosive. It alleges that 'ED officials said that if the matter is to be settled, get the children to join BJP. Otherwise, I will impose so many sections that Rahul Gandhi will not be able to get them removed even after becoming the Prime Minister. The bodies of the businessman and his wife were found hanging on Friday morning. The police have registered a case and started an investigation. There has been no response from ED yet on the allegations made in the suicide note.

The bodies of businessman Manoj Parmar and his wife Neha were found hanging in their house in Ashta, Sehore on Friday morning. A 5-page suicide note was also found at the scene. In the suicide note containing a total of seven points, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) officers have been accused of harassing and pressurizing him. Businessman Manoj has written in the suicide note, 'The ED officer put his shoe on his shoulder and said, this is your status. I will put so many sections on you that Rahul Gandhi will not be able to remove you even after becoming the Prime Minister.'

Manoj and his family came into the limelight after he presented a piggy bank to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi during the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. Rahul Gandhi himself shared the incident related to the piggy bank received from Manoj on his social media account X during the Yatra.

After the incident, Congress had alleged, 'Manoj and his family are being targeted by BJP since the piggy bank gift. They are being harassed and tortured.' On December 5, ED raided four locations of Manoj Parmar in Ashta and Indore.

The businessman had also sent the suicide note to the President, Supreme Court, Madhya Pradesh High Court, Prime Minister, Union Home Minister, Advocate General, Madhya Pradesh Governor, Chief Minister, DGP, Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee and some media institutions, in which permission was sought to commit suicide in a public place.

These things are mentioned in the suicide note-

I, Manoj Parmar, am a resident of Shanti Nagar Ashta, District Sehore, and Madhya Pradesh. I want to make a humble request to you, which is as follows. Sir, I am facing trial in Session Court Ashta and CBI Court Bhopal in two FIRs of the same incident since 2017. The judgment of the Ashta Court has been given in February 2023. The trial is going on in CBI Court Bhopal in the second FIR. On 5 December 2024, ED raided my house for the third time at 5 am. They searched the house. At around 9 pm, they took away some documents, Rs 10 lakh and 70 grams of gold jewellery.

1. He had taken this 10 lakh rupees from relative Dinesh Parmar (liquor contractor) Kusmania. Actually, his wife Neha Parmar has had a loan from the Bank of Baroda since 2013; he had borrowed it to pay OTS for it. That money was also taken away by ED's Assistant Director Sanjeet Kumar Sahu and his associate Radheshyam Vishnoi. In the Panchnama given to me by ED, there was no mention of the seizure of 10 lakh rupees or the seizure of 70 grams of gold.

2. ED officers came to my house on the morning of 5 December. First, they switched off the cameras in the house. Sanjeet Kumar Sahu started abusing the people in the house and started beating me. They snatched everyone's phones. They locked the children and my wife in the room. They kept searching from sofa to bed wearing shoes. Every half an hour they kept saying that if you and your family were in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), then there would have been no case against you. Your children meet Rahul Gandhi. How much property Rahul Gandhi has? Your children and you would know, tell us. Even Rahul Gandhi will not be able to help you. We will arrest him too soon.

3. After searching upstairs, they came to the downstairs hall. There was a photo gallery in the house, which had photos of all Congress leaders including Rahul Gandhi. Seeing this, Sanjit Kumar Sahu repeatedly said that the reason for ED coming to your house is these photos and your children campaigning for Congress. Sanjit Kumar Sahu made me sit on the floor. He himself sat on the sofa and put his feet along with shoes on my shoulders and said ... this is your status.

'After my repeated requests, he moved his feet away. Then he said the same thing… Tell your children that they want to stay alive. If you want to save your wife and family members, then get your children to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Otherwise, we will make false cases against all of you and put you in jail.'

After this Radheshyam Vishnoi said, you have got bail in the CBI case. Go and ask Kejriwal, Hemant Soren, and DK Shivkumar in this matter, you will not get bail in your lifetime. So do what Sahu sir is saying. If you get your children to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in two days and start making and uploading videos against Rahul Gandhi, then your family will be saved.

4. I don't know what he was writing on the laptop. He was saying, keep the documents we have brought with you. I have to get them signed too. I don't know what he wrote. He made me sign by threatening and beating me after telling them my statement. He said- these are your statements. He made me sign a lot of papers too. I don't even know what those papers were.

They took the original registry from my house but got me to sign on a photocopy. They didn't leave any papers at my house. They took the original registry and other documents with them. They also took Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 phones, which were open phones. They also got me to sign on an empty envelope.

5. Despite my repeated requests, they did not even give me food to eat the whole day. They kept ordering food from outside and eating it. Even if I had to go to the bathroom, Sanjit Kumar Sahu would open the door and stand in front of me to take me to the toilet. He would repeatedly say the same thing if the matter is to be resolved, then get the children to join the BJP, the matter will be over.

6. I repeatedly requested that Neha Parmar, Reena Parmar, Sushma Parmar, Dharam Singh Parmar, Manohar Panwar, and Rajkumar Parmar do not know anything about the case. Whatever information is there, I have it all. All these people are innocent. They do not know anything about this, I have already told them everything that was done. Even after this, I was beaten up by Sahu Sir. Sahu Sir told me that I knew everything and that all these people were innocent.

7. I request the Congress party leaders and especially Rahul ji that ED is harassing people like us for being associated with you and working for Congress, due to which we are forced to commit suicide. I request that after my death, the responsibility of the children is yours and the Congress party's so that the message goes to the Congress people that the party stands with its workers. I request that do not let my death go in vain. If these children do not break down in this situation, then they will never break down. Rahul ji, do not leave the children alone.
