An ex-serviceman who lost a family property dispute allegedly attempted suicide inside a courtroom at the Bombay High Court around 11am on Friday, after his plea was rejected.
The court had passed an order in a matter between the man around 55 years old and his mother under the Senior Citizens Act.
The man, whose matter was listed before Justice Prakash D Naik for passing orders, was stopped from killing himself by advocate Mahesh Rawool, who was standing close to him. As Rawool called for help, the man was taken into custody by the Azad Maidan police.
