Noida Police rescued a man from a possible suicide attempt. The man in his early 20s had posted a message on his Instagram, saying he will hang himself to death, police said. He posted a message along with a picture of a noose on Saturday around 2 pm. However, timely intervention by the Gautam Buddh Nagar police saved him.

Later, he told police that he had a fight with his wife Friday night after which he went into depression and was mentally disturbed. The man is a resident of Chandrawal village under the Dankaur police station area.

His post was spotted by the media cell of the Director General of Police in Lucknow. They flagged it to the media cell of the Noida police. Then they immediately acted upon the information and started tracing the location of the account holder.

Once the location was traced to Chandrawal village, the local Dankaur police station was alerted. Subsequently, the in-charge of the local police post Shyam Mandi was informed and a team reached the youth’s house on time, the official said. Later, the youth and his family members were brought to the police post. 

“The youth told the police that he had a fight with his wife last night after which he went into depression and was mentally disturbed and because of all this, he was thinking of ending his life,” the police official said.
