Drama Unfolds in Kanpur Jail: Shocking Suicide Attempt by Accused Father

Shashi Ranjan Mishra, imprisoned for allegedly murdering his daughters, attempted to commit suicide in Kanpur jail using a sharpened steel plate. Mishra, a medical representative, sustained minor injuries and has been hospitalized. He gave conflicting reasons for his attempt, prompting an inquiry into the incident.

In a dramatic turn of events inside Kanpur's district jail, Shashi Ranjan Mishra, the man accused of murdering his twin daughters, reportedly attempted suicide. Mishra, a resident of Kidwai Nagar, tried to take his own life by slitting his throat with a self-sharpened steel plate.

Jail officials revealed that Mishra sustained only minor neck wounds and was quickly transported to Ursula Horsman Memorial hospital for treatment. Authorities have since launched an investigation into the incident to determine how Mishra managed to create a weapon within the confines of the jail.

Mishra was apprehended last month for allegedly killing his 11-year-old daughters, Riddhi and Siddhi, prompting a police response and subsequent arrest. Questions around his mental health and the circumstances of the incident remain under scrutiny.
