Khammam: Blue colts stop man on suicide bid getting run over by a train

Khammam: Dial 100 saved the life of a person in Khammam. As per the details received, Kotha-palli Mallaiah and his wife, who were living in Bokkala-gadda area, quarrelled with each other on Monday night over a household issue. Mallaiah left the house after the argument and decided to end his life and proceeded to the railway track.

He made a call before committing suicide to his wife by saying “I am going to end myself’. Later, he switched off the phone and went to the track. His wife called up 100 and explained the dispute. She also told them of her husband’s decision to end his life.

The cops, who received the call, informed it to Three Town Police.

The Circle Inspector responded and tried to find the location from where Mallaiah called his wife. He got the location and found that he was at railway track in Sarathinagar.

He alerted the Blue Colts who rushed to the spot and noticed that Mallaiah was lying down on the track, waiting for a train. They asked him to refrain from his act of committing suicide. But, he argued with the police too. Later, they convinced him and brought him to the police station.

He was handed over to his family members.

Blue Colts police, introduced in 2014, have been working in two shifts — 6 am to 2 pm and 2 pm to 10 pm.
