Businessman Dies by Suicide After Jumping from Mumbai's Bandra-Worli Sea LinkPreviousNext

A 51-year-old businessman, Bhavesh Navinchandra Majethia from Thane, died by suicide after jumping off Mumbai's Bandra-Worli Sea Link on June 23. He reportedly asked his taxi driver to stop, citing nausea, before jumping. Rescue efforts were delayed by rough sea conditions, and his body was recovered later. Police suspect financial stress as a factor and have registered an Accidental Death Report, with investigations ongoing. The sea link has seen multiple suicides since its 2009 opening.

Sentiment — Negative (23/100)
