A young farmer was found dead in his field in Linganmath village near Khanapur in Belagavi district on Monday.

He had taken loans of up to ₹4 lakh from banks and private moneylenders. He was tilling his family farm of six acres, after his father died a few years ago. He was unmarried and is survived by his aged mother. A case has been registered.
