A tragic incident unfolded in Mumbai on Friday, September 20, when an app-based cab driver from Govandi reportedly committed suicide by jumping from the iconic Bandra-Worli Sea Link. According to reports, the driver stopped his car midway on the bridge around 1:00 AM and took the extreme step.
The incident was first reported to the Mumbai Police at midnight, leading to an immediate response from law enforcement and rescue teams. The Worli Police, Worli Fire Brigade, and Bandra Fire Brigade rushed to the scene, finding the driver’s car parked on the bridge. Despite an extensive search effort, the driver’s body was not located that night due to the darkness and rough sea conditions.
On the morning of the same day, however, the driver’s body was found floating near Dadar Chowpatty, located within the jurisdiction of Dadar Police Station. The body was transported to Nair Hospital, where he was officially declared dead.
Worli Police were able to identify the deceased through car registration documents. They confirmed that the driver resided with his relatives in the Govandi area of Mumbai. His family was notified of the tragic incident and took possession of his body.
The Worli Police have registered an accidental death report (ADR) and are actively investigating the case. While the circumstances leading to the driver’s decision to take his own life remain unclear, the incident has sparked widespread sadness and concern in the city.
