Mumbai: A distressing video of a man committing suicide by jumping from the Atal Setu bridge into the Arabian Sea has surfaced on social media. The incident occurred on Wednesday afternoon when the individual, identified as Srinivas Kuruturi, 38, from Dombivli, drove to the bridge in a speeding car. At approximately 12:24 p.m., he abruptly stopped his vehicle, climbed onto the bridge railing, and leapt into the sea.
Mumbai Police confirmed that CCTV footage captured the entire sequence of events. Upon receiving reports of the incident, police and local volunteers launched an extensive search operation for Srinivas. However, the search efforts faced significant challenges due to rising waves caused by recent rain.
Srinivas, who had been working abroad and returned eight months ago to start his own business, is believed to have taken his own life due to financial difficulties. The police have registered a case and are investigating the circumstances surrounding the tragedy.
