Advocate tries to end life in Supreme Court

NEW DELHI: A 35-year-old advocate reportedly consumed poisonous tablets in the Supreme Court on Monday afternoon, blaming lax probe by the Chhattisgarh police in her own rape case.

“On Friday morning, she entered the court premises showing the identity card of a Chhattisgarh court,” said the police, adding “she then consumed poisonous tablets inside a court in front of a judge.” She was immediately rushed to the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital by other advocates who then informed the local police about the incident.
