Mumbai, September 2: Mumbai, September 2: Mumbai's Crime Branch-7 successfully intervened and prevented a potential suicide attempt by a 28-year-old man grappling with severe financial distress. In a dire situation due to unemployment and mounting loan obligations, the individual resorted to sending an alarming email to numerous recipients, including the Mumbai Commissioner's office, financial institutions, and media outlets. In the email, he expressed his intent to use a poisonous injection for suicide.

According to multiple sources, promptly responding to the distressing communication, the police initiated a comprehensive search operation. Despite the individual's attempts to evade detection by frequently changing his location and switching off his mobile phone, the police managed to pinpoint his whereabouts near Mahatma Phule Hospital in Lamb Smear Nagar 2, Vikhroli (West). Although no harmful injection was found in his possession, it was revealed that he had been researching suicide-related information on his mobile phone. 'Be Ready for 26/11-Like Terrorist Attack': Mumbai Police Receive Message Threatening Terror Strike, Accused Says PM Narendra Modi and CM Yogi Adityanath on Target.
