According to reports, Indarjeet known as ‘Buckoo’, who was a mechanic drank a quantity of poisonous substance (gramoxone) last Friday night at around 21:00 hrs while in a drunken state.
Reports are that he was rushed to the Suddie Hospital where he was admitted but succumbed on Tuesday, after battling for his life for some four days.
The man was reported to have been suffering from domestic problems. He frequently drank alcohol and would then verbally abuse his wife.
However, Friday he was said to be sober and during the afternoon he worked in his garden and went and bought groceries for his home. But during the early part of the night, he reportedly could not resist the temptation of consuming alcohol, after which he began to curse while he lay in a hammock under his house.
Reports said he even called out to his neighbour that he will drink poison and kill himself.
