Jaipur, Apr 9 (PTI) A man allegedly attempted self-immolation outside the office of the Superintendent of Police in Rajasthan’s Ajmer on Thursday over “inaction” by the police following his daughter’s death, police said.
Police personnel at the scene intervened in time and stopped him. He was then rushed to JLN Hospital for treatment.
The man said that his daughter died by suicide in November 2025 after being harassed by a youth, and claimed that no action had been taken despite repeated complaints.
He said his daughter, who was pursuing ITI studies, informed her mother that a youth had harassed her on her birthday, November 25, 2025.
The family counselled the accused the following day, but on November 28, she hanged herself at home, he claimed.
The man claimed that he had approached Alwar Gate police station and the Superintendent of Police twice earlier, but no action was taken.
He demanded strict action against the accused and said he had no right to live if he could not secure justice for his daughter.
Superintendent of Police Harshvardhan Agarwala said the matter is being investigated.
“We are examining why the man attempted suicide and the allegations made by him. Necessary directions have been issued for a probe,” he said. PTI AG HIG HIG
