A Congress worker on Tuesday attempted to commit suicide by trying to hang himself from a tree outside the party office in New Delhi. The party worker pleaded Congress President Rahul Gandhi to rescind his resignation, else he would "hang" himself.
The photographs of the worker's failed attempt shared by news agency ANI on Twitter show him trying to climb the tree while a policeman persuades him not to do so. The photos didn't show anything that a person could use to hang himself.
However, a barrage of tweets followed in which social media users said the man was just bluffing and staging a drama.
