Quarantined man commits suicide in Bajhang

Kathmandu, June 23

A man quarantined in Chhabis Pathibhara rural municipality of Bajhang, after coming from India, has committed suicide on Monday.

The rural municipality’s chairman Akkal Dhami says the man was staying alone in a room of a local school. After he did not wake up in the morning, other people had gone to the room to check to find him hanging.

The 30-year-old was quarantined there from last Saturday. He had not met the family after coming from India.

His last rites were performed on Monday itself. After the locals feared he might have contracted Covid-19, the security personnel buried the body, according to Dhami.

Also yesterday, his swab samples were collected and sent to Dadeldhura for a polymerase chain reaction test.
