First as tragedy, then as farce. Amid all the grimness surrounding Pratyusha Banerjee's suicide, we now have reality TV star Rakhi Sawant giving her two cents on how to curb suicides. It is, wait for it, a blanket ban on ceiling fans! And, she has asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to act on this appeal in a press conference!
I want all ceiling fans need to removed from all houses, this is what people use to commit suicide: Rakhi Sawant pic.twitter.com/PzGVaRQfWg

In all seriousness, Rakhi seems to believe that getting rid of those three or four-bladed gadgets from our leaky ceilings would do the job. You know, cut the shrink's earnings by half, or to zero!
