THALASSERY: In the incident in which a community nurse of New Mahe PHC attempted to commit suicide following a fake campaign that she had violated quarantine protocol, the police have arrested four persons. She was also mentally harassed by these gossipers.

The arrested persons are journalist N V Ajaykumar, New Mahe Village Officer Murali, Junior health Inspectors K T K Manoj Kumar and Anil Kumar.

In the suicide note, she had said that Manoj Kumar had been mentally harassing her for the past one year.

The Magistrate had reached the hospital and recorded the nurse’s secret statement. It was on Friday night that she consumed 40 BP tablets at a time and tried to commit suicide.

The suicide attempt was made after Congress-BJP workers held protests, alleging that she had contacted her sister who had arrived from Bengaluru and hence she should be put under quarantine.

The condition of the nurse, who is currently in Pariyaram Medical College, is slightly better.
