Baramulla: Police on Sunday rescued a woman after she attempted to commit suicide by climbing over a hillock in Delina area of north Kashmir’s Baramulla district.
Quoting an official, news agency KNO reported that the woman, a native of West Bengal, climbed a hillock in Delina in an attempt to commit suicide.
He said, however, a police team reached the spot and engaged the woman in conversation, while she was tactfully pulled off from the edge of the hillock.
The official said the woman who was rescued has been married to a resident of Delina. “She was feeling disturbed as she had lost contact with her family in Bengal, which is why she tried to take this extreme step,” he said.
He added the woman has been counselled and has been handed over to family members here.
