Mumbai: 2 teachers convicted for bid to end life

In a rare conviction, two teachers who tried to end their lives in 2019 by jumping off Mantralaya’s second floor, but were luckily saved by the safety nets, have been held guilty on the charge of “attempt to commit suicide.” The court, however, instead of handing sentences, fined the duo—Osmanabad’s Arun Niture (45) and Jalgaon native Hemantrao Patil (29)—Rs 5,000 each. They had pleaded guilty, forfeiting their right to a trial.
