Ahmedabad: Angry over refusal of bail, an undertrial prisoner, facing murder charge, today slit his wrist inside the sessions court in Surat, police said.
Jagdish Kanthariya got angry when Additional Sessions Judge J P Gadhvi rejected his interim bail plea, said G A Sarvaiya, Inspector of Umra Police Station in Surat, around 200km from in Ahmedabad.
"As soon as the Judge pronounced his order, Mr Kanthariya shouted 'he wants justice' and slit his wrist with a blade. We rushed him to Civil Hospital. He is out of danger now. He will be shifted to jail after he recovers," said Mr Sarvaiya.
Talking to mediapersons in the hospital, Mr Kanthariya said he is lodged in Surat's Lajpore jail for the last 10 years in connection with a murder case.
The 36-year-old said he has been applying for interim bail for the past several months as he wanted to get married.
Mr Kanthariya claimed his mother is very ill and he needs to get married so that his wife takes care of her.
About his courtroom act, Mr Kanthariya said he just wanted to tell the Judge that reasons behind his bail plea are genuine. He claimed his plea had been rejected several times by the Gujarat High Court as well as Surat sessions court.
