Vadodara: Mentally ill man commits suicide in temple in Sayajigunj

VADODARA: A 52-year-old man hanged himself to death in a temple in Sayajigunj area of the city on Monday. Devgan Gadavada, a resident of Chhani, went to the temple in the evening and tied a rope to the temple’s gate to strangulate himself.
“The gate was just three-feet high and so we had doubts. However, the FSL team that reached the spot said that deceased first put the rope around his neck and then pulled it with a lot of force injuring his spinal cord and resulting in his death,” said V B Aal, Sayajigunj police inspector.
Cops said that the deceased was suffering from learning difficulties and had tried to end his life a couple of times at different places on Monday. “His family members, who are labourers, confirmed about his mental condition,” Aal added.
