Karur, Jul 10, 2021: A man ended his life in front of a temple in Tamil Nadu’s Karur district on Friday. Allegedly, it was an act of sacrificing himself after his wish for a DMK win in the recently-concluded state’s assembly elections was fulfilled.

 

In his purported suicide note, the deceased wrote that he had prayed for DMK’s victory and, as it got fulfilled, he was "sacrificing his life".

The man, identified as Ulaganathan, was a 60-year-old retired government employee. He reached the temple in the early hours of Friday and ended his life by setting himself on fire.

Locals, who found the suicide note in the temple, claimed that the deceased had prayed for DMK leader Senthil Balaji’s victory and wished for the party to come back to power.

The man is said to have ended his life on Friday because it was Ashada Amavasaya, an auspicious day amongst Tamilians.

Police have seized the suicide note and are investigating the matter.
