After his consistent efforts to woo a girl studying in the same college as him failed, a 21-year-old youth from Kandivli shot himself in the stomach with a country-made revolver last afternoon. He was taken to the nearest hospital, from where he was shifted to Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Shatabdi Hospital. His condition is said to be stable.
