A 30-year-old woman from Latur
district in Maharashtra live-streamed her suicide attempt on
social media following which the police rushed to her place
and rescued her, an official said Monday.
Vrushali Kamble, a social activist, allegedly tried to
end her life out of frustration on Sunday at her home on Ausa
Road in Latur city, located around 470 km from here, he said.
The woman was till sometime back a member of the
social organisation, Panther Sena. After she resigned from the
organisation recently, some people were allegedly troubling
her, because of which she was frustrated and thought of ending
her life, he said.
In the wee hours of Sunday, Kamble, using her
smartphone, logged onto the Facebook Live streaming feature,
that lets anyone broadcast a real-time video.
She announced on the platform that she was going to
end her life and then consumed a mosquito repellent, Latur's
Shivaji Nagar police station inspector Nanasaheb Kalal said.
Some people, who were online at that time and watching
the live streaming feature on the website, alerted police
officials, who also saw the woman's suicide bid, he said.
The police officials in-turn passed the information to
Latur's Shivaji Nagar police station, following which a team
of cops from there rushed to Kamble's residence, Kalal said.
She was taken to Latur's civil hospital where she was
undergoing treatment and her condition was reported to be out
of danger, he said.
The woman's official statement was yet to recorded, he
said, adding that a probe was underway to ascertain the exact
reason for her suicide bid.
