Shiv Sena supporter attempts suicide amid Maharashtra political drama
Mumbai: A Shiv Sena supporter allegedly tried to commit suicide in Maharashtra's Washim district apparently after being upset over party chief Uddhav Thackeray not becoming the chief minister, police said on Sunday.
The incident took place at Manora Chowk on Saturday evening when Ramesh Balu Jadhav, a resident of Umari village in Washim, located around 580 km from Mumbai, came there for some work.
When he got the news that BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis was sworn in as the chief minister, Jadhav, who was inebriated, inflicted several cuts on his hands with a blade, an official at Digras police station said.
When a traffic policeman saw Jadhav slashing his hands with the blade, he ran towards him and thwarted his suicide bid, the official said. Jadhav was then rushed to a state-run hospital where he was undergoing treatment, he said.
"He was drunk and may have taken the step under the influence of alcohol," the official said, adding that a probe was underway into the incident.

Hundreds of people protesting peacefully against the Rowlatt Act, which granted the
colonial administration repressive powers, were gunned down by British forces without any provocation on this day in 1919 at a garden in Amritsar.
While the official figure put the number of dead at 379, freedom movement leaders had claimed that several hundreds more died in the firing.
