A distressed man in Kolkata was planning to jump off a bridge. However, police officers came up with a plan to save the man's life and that involved a promise of employment and a packet of biryani to convince the man to not jump off a bridge.
The man was identified as a 40-year-old resident of the locality. He has been under severe emotional stress following separation from his wife and the financial constraints due to losses in his business.
The policeman said, "Around 2.30 pm, he was taking his elder daughter to Science City on his two-wheeler. He suddenly stopped near the bridge and told her that his mobile phone had fallen somewhere on the road and he was trying to spot it. Leaving her standing on the road, he climbed up the bridge and then threatened to jump off."
The policeman also said that he spoke to his daughter to understand the problem and thus after that planned the conversation to convince the man and bring him down.
