Man commits suicide in Sawai Madhopur de-addiction centre

JAIPUR: A 39-year-old man who got admitted to a de-addiction centre at Sawai Madhopur almost a fortnight ago ended his life by hanging from the ceiling late on Friday evening. Police were yet to ascertain the reasons why he committed suicide.

According to the police the relatives of the man identified as Anil Meena, a native of Choth Ka Barwada, had admitted him to the de-addiction centre on December 31, 2021 since he was addicted to narcotics. “In the evening, some of the inmates at the de-addiction centre saw Meena hanging from the ceiling and informed the staff and other members. They later intimated us,” said a senior police officer of City (Chowki) Sawai Madhopur.

A team of senior police officers rushed to the spot. “He was brought down and was rushed to the hospital where he was declared brought dead,” the officer added.

Police stated that the preliminary investigation suggested that the victim was addicted to some narcotics and he was unable to get it at the de-addiction centre and this could be the reason why he took the extreme step. It is too early to reach at any conclusion. Prima facie it appears that his urge to get his narcotics to which he was addicted could be the reason behind the suicide. We are investigating to ascertain the concrete reason behind the suicide,” the officer added.
