Mumbai Man Jumps From Mantralaya Building In Suicide Attempt, Lands On Safety Net

In Mumbai, a man attempted suicide by jumping from Mantralaya but was saved by installed nets. Police rescued him, despite initial resistance.

In a shocking video, a Mumbai man attempted suicide by jumping from the upper floor of Mantralaya, the administrative headquarters of Maharashtra government. However, he safely landed on the installed nets that are designed to prevent such incidents.

Police reached the site to rescue the man as soon as they were notified of the incident, according to the news agency ANI.

From the purported video, it could be seen the man hanging on the safety net of the building with some posters in his hand. Later, in the video, it is discovered that 2 members of the police also landed on the installed nets to rescue him.

It is also seen that at the beginning, the man was not ready to go with the police. But, both police members coercively dragged the man to a safe place.
