Youth in Chhattisgarh's Korba Village Attempts Suicide by Slitting Throat and Jumping into Well
A horrifying case of suspected self-sabotage, driven by superstition and mental distress, has sent shockwaves through Chhattisgarh's Korba district. In a tragic incident, a young man allegedly slit his own throat with a sharp knife and then jumped into a well in what appears to be a desperate suicide attempt.
Details of the Disturbing Incident
The incident unfolded in Benderkona village, where the youth, identified as Ram Krishna Kurre, suddenly attacked himself with a knife, inflicting deep throat wounds. Bleeding profusely, he ran through the village lanes in a visibly distressed state before anyone could intervene. Before residents could react, he leaped into a nearby well, escalating the crisis.
Local villagers quickly gathered and launched a frantic rescue operation, managing to pull him out of the well. Emergency services were immediately alerted, and a Dial 112 team rushed the severely injured youth to the district medical college hospital. Officials confirmed that his condition remains critical as he receives urgent medical care.
Family Claims and Police Investigation
Family members informed police that Kurre had been under severe mental stress for several days prior to the incident, exhibiting signs of fear and odd behavior. Some relatives speculated that he might have been influenced by "supernatural forces," though police emphasized that such claims are currently unverified and under examination.
Due to his severe throat injuries, Kurre was unable to speak at the hospital. However, in a poignant moment, he reportedly asked for pen and paper and wrote a note requesting that police be informed if he died, highlighting the depth of his distress.
Ongoing Investigation and Next Steps
Police from the Rampur civil lines police station have registered a case and launched a thorough investigation into the matter. Preliminary findings suggest mental health-related issues may be a factor, but all angles, including the family's superstition claims, are being scrutinized.
Further clarity is expected once medical assessments are completed and the victim's statement can be recorded after his condition stabilizes. Authorities are treating this as a sensitive case, with a focus on understanding the underlying causes to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
