Sri Lankan Refugee Climbs High Tension Tower and Gets Electrocuted
A Sri Lankan refugee at a camp in Uchapatti in Madurai allegedly committed suicide on Sunday after his request to not mark his hospitalised son as "absent" during an inspection were turned down by an official. 48-year-old Raveendran requested a retired Revenue Inspector, who had gone there to take a roll call, that his son has been hospitalised and not be marked "absent" as he would not be able to get refugee rations for him, the officials said. Despite his plea and producing the medical chit as proof, the official allegedly marked his son 'absent', they said. Raveendran then climbed a nearby high tension tower and electrocuted himself by touching a wire, they said, adding the other refugees then allegedly thrashed the retired official. A police team led by Superintendent of Police P Vijayendra rushed to the spot. He held an initial inquiry into the incident and managed to rescue the official, officials said. The refugees later staged a demonstration, demanding action against official responsible for the suicide of the man. |

If his son isn't there, he isn't there. Not the officials fault. Less rations to be handed round.

Yep, he would have gotten rations where he was. A classic case of greed here, oh well, one less mouth to feed now. |

Does anyone know how quick of a death that would be? It seemed to be immediate with those high voltage wires.

Re: Sri Lankan Refugee Climbs High Tension Tower and Gets Electrocuted
Dumb. A) If the kid's in the hospital, I'm sure he's going to be fed there. B) Even if he weren't, what's the son going to do now that the father has killed himself? C) If this guy really wanted to die, why did he try so hard to electrify himself? You've already climbed up there, dude. Just jump. D) I like the crowd turning on the retired official because he was "responsible for the suicide of the man." As if anyone's responsible for one's suicide other than oneself. |
