This, however, is not the first time when someone has tried to take their own life at Mantralaya in protest of delays or inaction of the administration.
A Nanded contractor, along with his wife, attempted immolation by pouring kerosene and setting themselves ablaze outside Mantralaya in May last year.
A farmer from Pune had attempted suicide by consuming a poisonous substance outside the gate of Mantralaya in August 2021 when the MVA government was in power. Subhash Jadhav had tried to complain to police about his land being captured by some people. After police's inaction, he decided to come to Mantralaya. He wanted to meet CM Uddhav Thackeray and home minister Dilip Walse Patil, but he was not allowed to enter Mantralaya.
