A 40-year-old bank manager allegedly jumped from the Atal Setu, part of the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, into the sea on Monday morning. The incident occurred around 9:57 AM when Sushant Chakravarty parked his red Maruti Brezza on the southbound stretch of the bridge before leaping off, according to police reports.
Upon receiving information from the traffic department, the Sewri police dispatched teams to the scene to search for the missing man. During their investigation, officers examined Chakravarty’s vehicle, which led them to identify him and learn that he lived in Parel with his wife and daughter.
Senior Police Inspector Rohit Khot stated, “We called his family to the police station. During the inquiry, Chakravarty’s wife revealed that he was under tremendous work pressure.” This troubling revelation has prompted the police to further investigate the circumstances surrounding his actions.
The Sewri police have since examined Chakravarty’s mobile phone but have not found any notes indicating his intentions. Khot added, “Chakravarty was working as a manager at the bank’s Hutatma Chowk office in Fort. Over the weekend, he had even taken his family for a getaway to Lonavala. On Monday, he informed his family he was going to the office but instead went to Atal Setu and jumped off the bridge.”
Search teams have been deployed in efforts to locate Chakravarty in the sea, with authorities urging anyone with additional information to come forward. The investigation is ongoing as the community and police come together to uncover the circumstances leading to this tragic incident.
