        I attempted suicide and my parents rushed me to the hospital and the doctor said “police case banega ji iska toh” and took 10k bribe to treat me is it actually that way? Does police arrest people for committing suicide ik there is a law that makes it unlawful but didn’t knew police arrested people

          Buddy please take care, talk to someone to reduce your stress. Don’t attempt suicide.

          The only reason mom paid 10k is to save you without delaying not becoz of police case. Doctors/Hospitals do play with emergency.

                Doctors cannot charge bribes to treat poisoning patients. They however have to report the case to the police station, and police do their thing.

                Source: Practising doctor who treats poisonings on the regular. 🙂

                    Does the person get a criminal history after that?

                        I don’t think so man. I’ve never bothered to check what happens after. But from what our police connect guy told me, police come and ask for the reason of suicide. They take it much more seriously when a recently married (< 7 years) lady attempts suicide (? Dowry attempts).

                          Attempt is no longer an offence. Chill

                                    Hey
                                    I’m sorry that this happened to you and you had to go through another situation after. I have been a practicing psychologist for five years and I give sessions at sliding scale rates. Additionally I give a 50% student discount if needed.

                                          How sick and greedy that doctor must be to take bribe from someone who has already given up on life and trying to end it by themselves, or from parents who just saw the part of their heart so broken that he/ she didn’t wanna live anymore. Where is the humanity in people.. What is happening to bhartiya people!!

                                                        After politicians and cops, if there’s anyone who deserves the hate, it’s definitely doctors

                                                          One human life, and you throwing it away.

                                                              I agree with your final observation. It doesn’t make sense to cost Rs10,000 for a failed attempt.

                                                                      Whatever the case, that doctor is horrible and should not be allowed to practice. Please try to get their name and shame them. At least tell us the name of the hospital because this is not acceptable, and if anything, that doctor should be punished legally.

                                                                      I hope you recover fast OP and get better mentally.

                                                                                      Section 226 of the BNS states that whoever attempts to commit suicide with the intent to compel or restrain any public servant from discharging his official duty shall be punished with simple imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year or with fine or with both or with community service.

If you’re a student, you can get 70% discount. Even if you’re not, it’s still very affordable. (Online therapy) I’ve tried it myself.

                                                                                                            Just to say suicide is never a solution for any problem. Just become stronger than the problems you are thrown at. The biggest problem with suicide isn’t even suicide, it’s the idea that there’s an easier solution to the problems, this will keep you stuck in the loop of not doing the hard work on the problems as long as you consider suicide as the solution. ITS NOT. EVER.

                                                                                                            Hope you won’t do such a step ever again.

                                                                                                            As far as Indian scenario goes, the dumbass laws are made such that if the suicide succeeds it becomes illegal (you can’t punish the dead person), and if it fails it becomes illegal. So it adds to the troubles of the troubled. Go figure.

                                                                                                            Anyways brother, take control of your life. You have so many people concerned and replying here. You do matter.

Taking an average of ~1B. And a woman produces ~12 eggs in a year. Also taking in consideration ~15 years (15 year to 30 years — you know). So it comes around 1B * 12 * 15 = 180B. To put it plainly, you are 1 in 180B or in other words a miracle. As Rowan Atkinson once said, life is a tragedy in a short span, and a comedy throughout. Take care of yourself.
