A timely intervention by a senior police officer saved a man from being cremated after he was declared dead following a suicide attempt in north Delhi. Police said 21-year-old Raju allegedly attempted suicide by hanging himself from a ceiling fan in his house on Monday. They said he was a drug-addict and was tired of frequent scoldings by his family members. His mother and sister were out of town for some work while his brother and father had gone somewhere nearby when he hanged himself, the police said.
