A 25-year-old woman, who hails from Jharkhand, allegedly attempted to commit suicide by consuming pesticides at the north fountain near Vijay Chowk on Thursday afternoon. Preliminary investigation revealed that she was depressed over not getting a job on compassionate grounds after the premature death of her father.
She was rushed to a nearby hospital, where her condition is said to be out of danger. No suicide note was recovered from her possession. "She consumed pesticide as she could not get a job in Central Coalfields ltd in Jharkhand after the premature death of her father who was employed in the company," said a police officer.
Police said the incident came to light on Thursday afternoon around 2 pm when the victim, Sukumari, allegedly consumed pesticides near the Parliament. "Investigation further revealed that she had attempted suicide in November 2011 as well, at the Darbhanga House in Ranchi," the officer added.
