Rajkot: Tired of harassment by two loan sharks, a 40-year-old man attempted suicide at the compound of Rajkot police commissionerate where he consumed phenyl on Monday afternoon.
Police said the victim, identified as Praful Goswami, a resident of Mochinagar locality on Jamnagar Road in Rajkot, was rushed to Rajkot Civil Hospital where his condition is said to be out of danger.
“In his statement, Goswami said that the accused, identified as Navin Bharwad and Deepak, had been harassing him for the recovery of the interest on Rs two lakh loan he had taken from them. Goswami claimed that he had already paid Rs four lakh to the accused. Yet, the accused continued their harassment,” said an official from Pradyumannagar police station.
Goswami claims that he had submitted an application of complaint against the accused duo to the police, a week ago. As no action was taken against the accused, he had to take the drastic step.
