In Ratlam, a young man died after consuming poison: relatives staged a blockade and accused the revenue department; they relented on assurances of a name change in 10 days.

In the village of Birmawal in Ratlam, 30-year-old Narendra Garg died after consuming poison. Following his death, family members and villagers protested by placing his body on the main road of the village, holding the revenue department responsible for the incident. When officials failed to arrive, they took the body to the Satrunda intersection on the Indore-Ratlam four-lane highway. The body was kept on the road for nearly half an hour, causing a traffic jam, resulting in vehicles lining up on both sides. Narendra's father, Shyamswaroop Garg, is not available for comment at this time.
