Three hours of talk and six feet of walk later, a female constable talked a 30-year-old lawyer off the ledge of a 20-storey building in Wadala. Threatening to commit suicide, the advocate had climbed to the 18th floor of the building on Friday morning, because she was stressed about her marriage prospects.

Around 7 am, the advocate visited the construction site of the 20-storey Vishnu Chandra Sky, located at RAK Marg. "The security guard, Radhesham Kanojiya, met the woman on 18th floor and she said she would leave the premises after taking a few photographs," said senior police inspector, Bhagwat Bansod from RAK Marg police station.
