In Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh, a man suspected of child-lifting tragically jumped to his death from a 40-foot overbridge after an intense eight-hour standoff. The incident began when villagers, believing the man, identified as Avinash Kumar, was a child thief, chased him through the night. Fearing for his life, Kumar climbed onto the foot overbridge on the Jaunpur-Varanasi highway. Despite efforts by the police, fire services, and the NHAI team to rescue him, Kumar ultimately jumped from a height of about 40 feet. The high-voltage standoff ended tragically as Kumar succumbed to his injuries. Videos circulating on social media show the tense moments as Kumar sat precariously on the bridge and the desperate attempts by authorities to persuade him to come down. Another video emerged showing the final moments of the standoff as Kumar jumped to death from the overbridge as an angry mob watched from below. Jaunpur: Interfaith Couple Confronted by Locals at Civil Court, Youth Arrested for 'Eloping' With Girl From Different Community (Watch Video).
