Bharatpur: Reminiscent of a similar scene featuring Dharmendra in the 1975 Bollywood hit Sholay, a youth from Pangor area of Deeg district of Rajasthan on Monday climbed atop a water tank to attempt suicide in Bharatpur district of the state against the alleged delay in his appointment on compassionate grounds in place of his deceased father, sources said.
The youth Radheshyam climbed atop the water tank located in Nai Mandi of Bharatpur at around 10 am. The young man also took a bottle filled with petrol along with him to attempt self immolation. Radheshyam said that he had been running from pillar to post to request authorities over his appointment on compassionate grounds in place of his father, but to no avail.
Radheshyam said his father Jawahar Singh was posted in 114 battalion of CRPF. He died about three and a half years ago while going from Ranchi to Neemuch for field operation, he said. Radheshyam said that after the death of his father, he has been moving from door to door for compassionate appointment for the last three and a half years.
