Cuttack: Salipur rape accused Mohammad Mustak on Wednesday attempted suicide at Salipur Sub-jail on Tuesday.

According to Salipur Sub-jail Superintendent Runibala Devi, Mustak attempted suicide by hanging himself from the ceiling of the toilet using a towel.

“We have recovered towel and lungi from his possession. We gave him medical treatment immediately and his health condition is stable. He has been left in the custody of a warden. A close vigil is being kept on him round the clock,” informed Devi.

Sources said that Mohammad attempted to take the extreme step as he was depressed over the humiliation fellow prisoners heaped on him following the death of the minor girl whom he had raped on April 21.

Meanwhile, another case has been filed against the accused in Salipur police station.

It is worthwhile to mention here that Mohammad, taking advantage of power-cut in the area, had raped a minor girl while she had gone to buy chocolate.

Sometime later, the minor was rescued in a serious condition and was rushed to the SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack where she breathed her last on April 29.
