<p>Meanwhile, in a similar incident at Bandra Worli Sea Link, last week, a 56-year-old businessman, Bhavesh Seth, died by suicide by jumping from the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. The deceased took a lift from someone in a car and later stopped the car at Bandra-Worli Sea Link and left it. He then made a video call to his son and jumped into the sea from the Bandra-Worli Sea Link.</p>
<p>He was a resident of Ghatkopar who was in the ball-bearing business. Cops suspected that he received huge losses in business, due to which he ended his life. The cops also recovered a suicide note from inside the car in which Seth took the lift. Fishermen from the Koliwada area recovered the body of Seth from the sea and handed it over to the police.</p>
<p>After local Koliwada residents saw Seth jumping from the Sea Link, they took their boat to rescue him. Fishermen Prem Soste, Babu Shivcharan, Monu Robbin, and Anwar Ali took the boat and entered the sea. It was high tide during the incident, but the fishermen managed to recover Seth's body from the sea.</p>
