Tragedy was averted at the Sakinaka residence of a 27-year-old man, who was convinced by the police, who arrived there in the nick of time, from taking his life. The man, who was an event photographer, was posting suicidal messages on WhatsApp, which a friend noted and alerted a police officer on September 6. The man lived in a two-storey building with his parents staying on the ground floor. He was about to hang himself as he was depressed about his wife leaving him a few months back following a domestic quarrel. He and his parents were not on good terms as well.
