Udupi, Dec 12, 2022: An undertrial lodged in the Udupi sub-jail has ended his life by hanging himself in his cell on December 11, Monday.
The deceased is Sadananda Serigar. He ended his life at around 5 am in the cell in which there were around 20 undertrials. As others noticed him trying to hang himself by tying a noose around his neck, they tried to rescue him. He was immediately rushed to the hospital, however he had breathed his last by then.
Serigar of Karkala origin was working as a surveyor. He was accused of staging his own death by killing someone else by setting afire a car in order to project that he had died. He reportedly resorted to such an act to get away with his cheating.
The incident had taken place at Ottinene in July this year.
