CHENNAI: The wife of Velmurugan, who killed himself on the HC premises alleging attempts to get his son a community certificate went in vain, allegedly attempted suicide at her house in Kancheepuram on Saturday. A day earlier, the State government told the court Velmurugan and his son were not from a tribal community.

Chitra (38) of Padappai, was rushed to GH on Saturday. Police said she was upset about the government statement in court that the application for certificates for their children was rejected as documents to prove they belong to the ST community weren’t provided.
