Bigg Boss winner attempts suicide

 The winner of the Kannada Bigg Boss Season 4, Pratham, attempted suicide by consuming two sleeping pills at his flat in Laggere after a fight with friend on Tuesday night.

He was immediately shifted to a hospital where the doctors declared him out of danger. Pratham has been discharged from the hospital.

Before attempting suicide, Pratham posted a video on Facebook, expressing anguish on his friend, Lokesh, who was also his publicist for Bigg Boss. On the other hand, Lokesh has lodged a complaint with Basaveshwaranagar police alleging that Pratham assaulted him.

On Wednesday, after few television news channels reported their quarrel, Pratham again got himself admitted to Fortis Hospital.

“We are unable to obtain his statement since he is in hospital” said a senior police officer. Basaveshwaranagar police have taken up a non-cognizable case on the basis of the complaint lodged by Lokesh.

The police suspect that Pratham has been indulging in gimmicks to hog limelight.
