A young man from Harharguttu, Bagbera, attempted suicide following a dispute with his grandmother over money.

JAMSHEDPUR – In a distressing incident on Tuesday morning, an 18-year-old resident of Harharguttu in Bagbera attempted to take his own life by hanging.

The young man, identified as M Lohar, was rushed to MGM Hospital after neighbors intervened and cut him down.

Doctors have described his condition as critical.

According to sources, the suicide attempt stemmed from a disagreement over money.

Monu, who works at a tent house, had asked his grandmother for 500 rupees before leaving for work.
