Pune: In a shocking incident, a 19-year-old girl and her 24-year-old brother allegedly attempted suicide at their home in Pune’s Wanwadi, shortly after video calling their mother on the occasion of Bhai Dooj on November 3.
The siblings made a video call to their mother when she was out for some work informing her about their decision to end their lives and attempted suicide shortly after, as per reports.
The mother immediately rushed back home but found the door locked from inside. Thereafter, police and fire brigade teams reached the spot and broke open the door.
“The girl and her brother were found lying in an unconscious state inside the house. They were taken to a private hospital for treatment,” said fireman Subhash Khade, as quoted by an Indian Express report.
The police said the siblings behaved normally after regaining consciousness. “Their condition is currently stable,” said Sanjay Patange, senior police inspector, Wanavdi police station.
The police have initiated an investigation into the incident.
In another unrelated incident, in September, a 19-year-old college student fell from the 29th floor of a high-rise building in Amanora township, Hadapsar. The incident occurred early on September 26. The victim, a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) student from Raigad district, was visiting friends when she fell from the apartment in Gold Towers around 2:30 AM.
At the time of the fall, three male friends were present in the apartment, including two engineers and a surgeon. Despite a immediate response from the Hadapsar police, who rushed her to Sassoon Hospital, she was pronounced dead upon arrival.
