The woman was till sometime back a member of the social organisation, Panther Sena. After she resigned from the organisation recently, some people were allegedly troubling her, because of which she was frustrated and thought of ending her life, he said. In the wee hours of Sunday, Kamble, using her smartphone, logged onto the Facebook Live streaming feature and announced that she was going to end her life and then consumed a mosquito repellent, Latur’s Shivaji Nagar police station inspector Nanasaheb Kalal said. Some people, who were online at that time and watching the live streaming feature on the website, alerted police officials, who also saw the woman’s suicide bid, he said.
