MUMBAI: A 74-year-old man allegedly attempted suicide by consuming sleeping pills in Mumbai’s Matunga area and has been admitted to a civic-run hospital in a serious condition, a police official said on Monday.
Police were alerted about the incident at around 5pm during the day by the man’s 42-year-old daughter, who is currently residing in Texas in the United States of America, he said.
“Bharat Ruparel, a resident of Matunga East, took at least 30 sleeping pills in a suicide bid. He had informed his daughter before taking this step, and had also told her he had written a suicide note and also made a will,” the official said.
