One of the 35 men found on board an American ship with a huge cache of illegal arms and ammunition has tried to commit suicide in jail in Tutucorin in Tamil Nadu.

The chief engineer of the MV Seaman Ohio, which entered Indian waters illegally earlier this month,  was described by jail authorities are "restless and stressed."

"The language problem and the condition of our jail is a major problem for the crew," said an official. 

All crew members are being counseled, the authorities said, and are housed together in prison. -- NDTV
