A sub-inspector from the Delhi Police's PCR unit prevented a man from taking his life on the Mahipalpur flyover, an officer said on Tuesday.

Responding to an emergency call, the PCR team rushed to the spot and found the man standing dangerously close to the edge of the flyover. Sub-Inspector Anil Sharma engaged him in conversation in an effort to calm him down and gain his trust. He also offered him water and continued speaking with him to ease his distress, reported PTI.
