Kanpur: Amid the lockdown in the outbreak of the coronavirus, the police in Kanpur prevented an autorickshaw driver from committing suicide after he was unable to feed his family.

In a video that went viral on Monday, Shyamnagar residents Ravi Nigam was heard saying that he was not in a position to feed his family since he had no work considering the nationwide lockdown, a Times of India report read. Nigam said five days ago, he ran out of ration and did not have any money to purchase edibles so he was contemplating to end his life.
