An accused in a murder case reportedly attempted suicide by consuming pesticide at Hullahalli in Nanjangud near here.
The Nanjangud police, who had spread a dragnet to arrest Mahadevaswamy for allegedly murdering Javaranayaka of his village a few days ago, received a tip-off last Friday about his presence in Hulahalli bus stand.
By the time, the police reached the spot, Mahadevaswamy had consumed the pesticide. He was rushed to the hospital in Hulahalli before he was shifted to a hospital in Nanjangud and later to K.R. Hospital in Mysuru.
