Coimbatore : The alertness of police on duty at the District Collectorate on Monday thwarted a suicide attempt of a woman petitioner with a kerosene bottle in her bag.
Vasantha from Alankuttai near Annur arrived at the District Collectorate to petition about a man who had been harrasssing her family.
In 2017, Vasantha has allegedly handed over 17 sovereign of her jewels to a man named Vijayakumar who promised to pledge them for low interest in a bank. She alleged that even after paying the principal and the interest amount, Vijayakumar had not handed over the jewels but was instead demanding more money.
Vasantha reported that the man was also defaming her name by spreading rumours in her village. Due to the distress caused by the man, Vasantha reportedly arrived at the District Collectorate with a motive to commit suicide to garner the attention of the concerned officials and to initiate legal action against Vijayakumar for retrieving her jewels.
