A 60-year-old man accused of killing his wife allegedly hanged himself in the bathroom of Raisen district hospital in Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday morning, police informed.
Jamuna Prasad, a resident of Murel Kala village under the Kotwali police station limits, had allegedly burnt his wife to death following a family dispute, said area Sub-Divisional Officer of Police (SDOP) Neelam Choudhary.
According to his family members, he had earlier attempted suicide twice.
Last week, he tried to kill on the path of a train in Vidisha, but the Government Railway Police (GRP) rescued him and admitted him to the district hospital there.
The police officer said Prasad reached Raisen district hospital on March 1 after his health deteriorated while absconding, and doctors admitted him.
At around 9 AM on Tuesday, a staff nurse on duty found Prasad hanging in the bathroom of the orthopaedic ward and informed the hospital authorities.
Findings of a preliminary inquiry suggested that he had hanged himself using the drawstring of his pyjama. Police have registered a case and launched an investigation.
