A man allegedly died by suicide after jumping off the Atal Setu bridge on Monday. According to the police, the man stopped his car—a red Maruti Brezza—and jumped off the bridge into the sea. The incident took place on around 10 am. Police said the deceased was deputy manager of a nationalised bank. The man’s wife claimed that his husband died because of “work-related stress”.

The incident came to light after the Sewri police received information on Monday that a man had jumped off the bridge. The police said they rushed to the incident spot. “We checked the CCTV footage and traced the number plate of the car, which was found to be registered under the name of the deceased,” said Rohit Khot, a senior officer at Sewri police station.
