The police foiled a suicide bid by an undertrial prisoner identified as Chandolu Rajashekar, here on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, the police brought him to Avanigadda court. While returning, he requested the police to allow him to have a tender coconut at Panchayat Centre. Suddenly, Rajashekar snatched the sickle from the coconut vendor and threatened to slit his throat. The police swooped on him and took him into custody.
