Earlier, a 40-year-old man was saved by police in Kolkata after he tried to attempt suicide by climbing a bridge. The police promised the frightened man a packet of biryani and a job. According to a police officer from Karaya station, the event caused a 30-minute traffic delay on one of the city's busiest routes. The individual took this drastic move as a result of emotional turmoil caused by his separation from his wife and financial troubles caused by business losses.

Police from the neighbouring station, as well as members of the Kolkata Police Disaster Management Group (DMG) and the fire department, rushed to the scene and began speaking with him. Following offers of biryani and a job, the man accepted to descend.
