161(3) Cr.P.C. Statement of Somu (47), S/o.Maran, Anna Nagar, Paramathi Road, Namakkal.
----------
I am residing in Anna Nagar, Paramathi Road, Namakkal town. I am eking my livelihood by doing coolie work. Today ie., 2/9/2003, at about 9.00 hrs., I was going near Namakkal bus stand. At that time, a person, aged about 27 years, pressing his stomach tightly, called me and asked me to get an autorickshaw to go to hospital. I stopped an autorickshaw, which came to town through that route, and sent the said boy to the hospital. Since he was not well, and as he had requested, I also boarded the autorickshaw, along with him and took him to Government hospital, Namakkal. When I accompanied him, pesticide odour emanated from him. I asked him as to which town, he belonged to. He replied that he was from Tiruchengode. He was not conscious while proceeding in the autorickshaw. When we alighted at the hospital, he came holding my hand. When the doctor examined him, he was alive. Then, when attempts were made to give him treatment, he died. Doctor declared him dead. Doctor asked for my name and address. He also asked for the same of the driver of the autorickshaw. He told him that his name was Mani. Doctor only said, "consumption of pesticide". Then, the driver of the autorickshaw, left. Thereafter, you brought me and enquired. You showed the person who died in Government Hospital, Namakkal, and enquired me. He was the person, whom I had brought to the hospital, by autorickshaw. Presently, I came to know that he had stolen money, and out of humiliation, he had consumed pesticide and died. When I was enquired, I narrated these details.
