Judge kills self over family dispute

SHAHDOL, MP, June 16:  A civil judge posted in Anuppur District’s Kotma has committed suicide by consuming pesticide at his residence due to a family dispute.

Judge Madhavrao Patel took the extreme step yesterday. He was rushed to a hospital in Aakumada and referred to another in Bilaspur where he succumbed. The body was taken to Mr Patel’s native place Kharsia. “The last rites were performed there today,” Anuppur’s Superintendent of Police Tilak Singh said. (UNI)
