Businessman attempts suicide at Taj Hotel

Ravinder Singh Bawa, who resides in Karol Bagh, checked into Room No 708 of Taj Hotel on Mansingh Road near India Gate on April 30 where he allegedly consumed alcohol laced with poison, a senior police official said.

Police came to know about the incident when a doctor at Jeevan Nursing Home in Karol Bagh informed that Bawa was brought to the hospital in an unconscious state after consuming poison.

According to the doctor, he was brought into the hospital by his family in an unconscious state with froth coming out of his mouth. Hotel staff had informed the family about the incident.

He is recuperating in the hospital.

A suicide note was recovered from the hotel room in which he alleged that he had a financial dispute with four businessmen and there were cases in the court.

Bawa's wife also told police that he had borrowed money from several people and there were court cases in this regard which led to his depression, the official said.

A search in his hotel room yielded two empty alcohol bottles, a broken glass and a bottle of water.

A case of attempt to suicide has been registered against him. PTI SJY
