An Indian journalist who allegedly persuaded a depressed businessman to kill himself on camera, before police stopped him, has been charged with abetting suicide.
The video journalist, identified only as Vipin, urged Tilak Raj to drink poison outside a police superintendent's residence in northern Punjab state yesterday.
"Tilak Raj was extremely depressed after losing a property case in court,'' the superintendent, R.K. Jaiswal, said.
"He approached Vipin for help and Vipin told him to kill himself to attract public attention to his plight.''
Police managed to thwart the suicide bid.
