Attempt to commit suicide
Harish Raj was upset and depressed, in March of 2011, when the owner of Santhosh Cinema decided to replace Harish's film, 'Gun', with the Sudeep starrer 'Kempegowda', barely two days after 'Gun' started its theatrical run. An emotional Harish climbed atop the roof of Santhosh cinema and threatened to commit suicide. A policeman who tried to stop him from committing suicide was also injured, when the actor attacked him. Harish was later charged under Sections 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty) and 309 (attempt to commit suicide) of IPC, following the incident.[3]
