 A singer in Nagpur facing financial woes due to the coronavirus outbreak and lockdown attempted suicide by cutting his wrist on Saturday and uploading it live on Facebook, police said.
However, he was saved by friends who saw the social media upload in time and rushed him to hospital, police added.
