Tragic Incident in Bhagalpur: Addiction and TB Push Man to Blade Attack

The shocking event in the Lodipur police jurisdiction underscores the lethal combination of substance abuse and untreated tuberculosis. Mithilesh's wife, Anita Kumari, recounted that her husband once drove a 14‑wheel truck, but his reliance on alcohol eroded his professional and personal life.

His tuberculosis treatment, which had been ongoing for six months, offered little relief as his lung function continued to decline. The persistent cough, chest pain, and inability to breathe normally left him feeling helpless.

Facing mounting medical bills and a loss of dignity, Mithilesh's mental health crumbled, leading him to take a life‑ending step with a blade. Hospital officials say that his case will be reviewed by both medical and psychiatric teams to prevent similar tragedies.
