SUICIDES CLAIM MORE LIVES THAN MURDERS


Suicides claim more lives than murders, globally and in India

Latin America & Conflict Zones Are Exceptions

TIMES NEWS NETWORK

Governments spend lots of money, energy and time in trying to minimise murders, but the truth is the number of people who die by suicide is several times the number of murder victims.

This is true both globally and in India, an analysis of data from 113 countries with populations of over 5 million each shows. Among the world’s regions, Latin Ame- rica is an exception to the rule with murder rates several multiples of suicide rates in many countries there. Within India too, the suicide rate is significantly higher than the murder rate in almost all states, Bihar being the sole exception among the larger ones.

Trichy: As many as 24 monkeys including six females were found dead on a vacant land near Trichy-Chennai NH on Sunday morning. Forest officials said that the cause of death is being investigated.

According to the officials, they got an alert that carcasses of monkeys were found on a vacant land and an agriculture field near the reserve forest at Nedungur village in Trichy district. A team of officials led by forest ranger Gopinath rushed to the spot, and found 24 dead monkeys on the land. All of them were two-years-old. As per the initial investigations, the death seemed not because of the poisoning. They might have died due to suffocation, the forest ranger said.

“The perpetrators might have confined the animals in a small cage leaving the monkeys dead. However, the actual reason of death will be known only after getting the postmortem report,” Gopinath said.
Special teams have been formed to probe into the incident and nab the culprits involved in the incident, officials said. After performing the postmortem, carcasses of all the 24 animals were buried inside the reserve forest range of Nedungur, forest officials said.

Meanwhile, forest officials have seized five small pieces of elephant tusk from two people.

Cuddalore: A betrothal, a reception, a shoving match and a wedding with another groom. It had all the elements of romance, pomp and drama.

Just hours before they could say ‘I do’, the couple broke up — over an alleged slap in the face. Within hours of being ‘publicly humiliated’ by her husband-to-be, the bride called off the wedding and married a relative at the scheduled date and time, but a venue seven kilometres away. The spurned groom has now lodged a complaint with the Panruti all-women police station seeking compensation of ₹7 lakh, which his family spent for the reception and wedding arrangements.

Police said a youth from Periyakattupalayam near Panruti employed as a senior engineer in a private firm in Chennai and a postgraduate woman from Panruti were formally engaged with the blessings of their parents and elders of both families on November 6.

The elders decided to hold the reception on January 19 in Panruti and the wedding the following day in Kadampuliyur village. The organisers had even arranged a DJ for the reception, held the day before the wedding as is the custom in some communities. The groom and bride were happily dancing to the tunes of the DJ and everything went smooth until the bride's cousin joined them on the floor. Her cousin initially held the hands of the couple and danced with them. Soon, he came in between them, placed his arms around the shoulders of the couple and started dancing with them, irking the groom.
The groom pushed away the cousin and the bride. What happened next was a blur. The bride's family insists that the groom slapped her in front of all the guests in the hall when she joined him on the decked up stage after the dance

Bride’s family managed to find groom within hrs

Shocked and humiliated, the tearful bride called off the wedding. Her parents approved her decision. They walked out in a huff, managed to find a suitable groom among their relatives within hours and the following morning, the bride married the new groom at the scheduled time and date and a new venue.

The rejected groom said in his complaint that the bride's parents and relatives charged him with ill-treating her and added they physically assaulted him and verbally abused him.

"When she reached the stage after dancing, I asked her why she danced with others. For which, she replied that it was her decision to dance. Soon her parents and relatives accused me of threatening her even before tying the knot and abused and assaulted me. They said they will teach me a lesson by stopping the marriage and marrying their daughter off to another man,” the groom said in his complaint. “We have spent more than ₹7 lakh for the reception and the wedding. We request you to help us in getting the compensation," he a dded in the complaint.

Panruti all-women police inspector S Valli said the groom was accused of slapping the bride for dancing with her cousin following which the bride rejected the groom and her parents got her married to another man. “We have received complaints from both sides. We have instructed the parties of the two sides to come for inquiries tomorrow (Saturday),” said Valli.
