Thane: A 35-year-old woman tried to end her life outside the district rural police headquarters here, but her attempt was foiled by the police, an official said Friday.
The incident took place on Wednesday morning and the woman, who is from Ambivli in Kalyan, has been booked for the suicide attempt, police said.
