Morena (Madhya Pradesh): A 19-year-old drug addict allegedly shot himself dead in Morena on Saturday. The victim blamed injectable drugs for ruining his life in his last video and appealed the government to ban injectable drugs.
Before allegedly shooting himself, the 19-year-old recorded a video explaining why he had taken the step. In the video, he claimed that he had been taking drug injections for the past four years and was unable to overcome the addiction. He also named the medical store from where he allegedly bought the injections and urged the government to strictly ban their sale.
In the video, he said, "Main ye injection roz lagata hu, aur iske baad mujhe koi sudh bhud nahi rehti, kya karta hu kuch samajh nahi aata." ("I inject this every day, and after that I lose all sense of what I'm doing. I don't even understand my own actions.")
