Suicide bid by Dalit youth

Mumbai, July 28. A 24-year-old Dalit youth today allegedly tried to commit suicide near the Chief Minister's residence in south Mumbai after security personnel prevented him from going inside the house, police sources said here.

The youth, Yuvraj Ahire, who is unemployed and had come from Nashik, sought an audience with the Chief Minister, Sushilkumar Shinde, at his official residence "Varsha." When he was prevented from entering the house, he took out a bottle of poison and consumed it.

He was rushed to a government-run hospital in south Mumbai, where he is stated to be in a critical condition.
