A man attempted suicide in Shivaji Nagar police station in Mumbai on Tuesday after claiming that his complaint of assault against a neighbour was not being probed, an official said.
Bainganwadi resident Abdul Hamid Jamadar (44), who doused himself with kerosene and lighted a match, was saved by police personnel and others present on the spot and rushed to civic-run Rajawadi hospital, he said.
His family claimed Jamadar attempted suicide because he was assaulted by a neighbour two days ago but Shivaji Nagar police refuse to register a complaint.
Additional Commissioner of Police (East) Lakhmi Gautam, however, said two non-cognisable (NC) offences were lodged against Jamadar on September 27 and he was called to the police station in that connection.
He said police will probe Jamadar's kin's allegation.
