Bengaluru: An elderly man attempted to kill himself in front of Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, alleging that police involvement in land sale fraud.
The incident took place when the chief minister was receiving complaints from the public at his residence in RT Nagar on Friday morning.
The elderly man, identified as Chandrashekhar from Sunkadakatte, consumed a liquid from a suspicious-looking bottle in front of the CM. The security personnel immediately took him aside and interrogated him.

It is gathered that Chandrashekhar had lodged a complaint with the chief minister accusing the police’s involvement in the scam.
