Davangere, Jan. 11 -- A 56-year-old BJP leader and former Davangere Municipal Corporation member, Chandrashekhar Sankola, was found dead at his farm in Bisaleri village on Sunday, police said.
The deceased was discovered inside a burnt car. Police said Sankola apparently took his own life following the hospitalisation of his children, 23-year-old Pavitra and 20-year-old Naresh, who had earlier attempted suicide.
The night before the incident, the family reportedly had a heated argument over financial issues. The children are currently undergoing treatment.
