A 49-year-old woman attempted suicide by setting herself ablaze at Asarikandam, near Nedumkandam, in Idukki on Friday following revenue recovery proceedings initiated by a bank over a loan taken.
The injured person was identified as Sheeba Dillep, a resident of Asarikandam. Two civil police officials who came to her rescue also suffered burn injuries.
According to the police, the incident occurred around 2.30 p.m. Officials of the scheduled private bank arrived at the woman’s house with an advocate commissioner-led team to attach the property.
