Strange suicide

Barwani, MP, Jan 22 (UNI) A depressed tribal youth -- who set himself ablaze and then leapt off a hill to plunge into the Goi river -- has died, the police said.

This district's Dogliya Pani village-resident Tukaram, who was depressed for a year, doused himself with kerosene and ran to the hill where he ignited the fuel and took the fatal plunge on January 20 while his family members were not at home.

His body was fished out yesterday.
