Distraught over his wife’s sickness, a 65-year-old man took his life by jumping into a pond near Azad Market, under the Telco police station.
JAMSHEDPUR – Tragedy struck Birsanagar Zone No. 1 when 65-year-old Hiravan Thakur committed suicide, overwhelmed by his wife’s debilitating illness.
Early morning onlookers identified Thakur’s body floating in a nearby pond, which led to the police’s involvement.
