Bengaluru, Jun 24: A 44-year-old man, who visited Vidhana Soudha to submit a request application to a minister, tried to commit suicide in one of the bathrooms. 

R Revanna Kumar, working as a assistant librarian at Anoor village Panchayat in Chikkaballapur had written a requisition to a minister to fix the minimum wage. 

As per reports, Revanna went to the third floor and went inside a restroom, adjacent to Room no 332 of Vidhana Soudha and slit his throat and wrists in an attempt to end his life. 

However, a sweeper noticed him fallen on the floor and raised alarm. Revanna was immediately rushed to Bowring Hospital. He is said to be out of danger.
