The parents of a 35-year-old man was tied by chains to stop him from taking drugs in Punjab's Firozpur district. The man's father, Kala Singh, said that his son is a drug addict and sells household items to buy drugs.
Jasbeer Singh, who is married and has two children, tried to commit suicide, but his attempt failed. When his family got to know of it they tied him up with chains.
"I have been trying to quit drugs, but I am unable to do so. I have been taking drugs for more than a year," Jasbeer Singh told ANI.
