The Dhaka Times Desk The entire state of Tamil Nadu mourned the imprisonment of Chief Minister Jayalalithaa. In the end, 16 devotees committed suicide in mourning for Jayalalitha i.e. Amma.
The news of Chief Minister Jayalalithaa's imprisonment has set the entire Tamil Nadu on fire. Residents of Tamil Nadu state are shocked to hear about the fate of the one they used to call Amma. One of them said, 'Those who hanged Amma in such a way are not spared. Amma can never commit a sin. He is our protector.' This is what the people of Tamil Nadu have said. The whole of Tamil Nadu has turned to stone to mourn the imprisonment of Jayalalithaa, the newly former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. In such a situation, not being able to accept Amma's prison sentence, Jayalalithaa's supporters are committing suicide.
According to media reports, 16 cases of suicide by burning and strangulation by hanging have taken place since Saturday. According to the media, a 65-year-old resident of Chennai poured kerosene on S Venkatesh and set him on fire on Sunday. On the other hand, a devotee of Jayalalitha sacrificed his life by jumping in front of the moving bus. At least 3 Amma supporters committed suicide by hanging themselves again. Not only the suicide but also Jayalalitha's imprisonment order has left countless supporters mentally disturbed. 10 people have already suffered from heart attack. Another Jayalalitha devotee died of cardiac arrest immediately after the court's verdict.
However, Tamil Nadu police are unwilling to accept Amma's imprisonment as the reason for these suicides. According to them, there are personal reasons behind these deaths.
However, they are also concerned about the sudden increase in suicides in Tamil Nadu.
It is to be noted that the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and AIDMK leader Jayalalitha Jayaram was sentenced to 4 years imprisonment by the special court in Bangalore. Panneerselvam, a Jayalalithaa loyalist, has already been sworn in as the new Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
