The sensational incident took place at Jantar Mantar in the heart of the city where thousands from Delhi and other states had turned up to denounce the land bill at a mass meeting called by the AAP.
Three AAP activists who saw the man hanging climbed the tree and tried to bring him down. But as they untied the scarf the farmer had tied to a tree branch to hang himself, his body fell with a loud thud.
One of the AAP activists who had climbed the tree fainted on the branch. Others then clambered up and brought him down after sprinkling water on his face.
A suicide note in Hindi was also found at the spot said the man was taking his life because untimely rains had destroyed his crops and ruined him. He ended the note with "Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan, Jai Rajasthan".
The man was rushed to the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital where he was declared dead.
Home Minister Rajnath Singh has directed a probe into the incident.
