Fifty one year-old constable Gunaji Patil, attached to the Worli police station, foiled a suicide bid by a 23 year-old housewife, who jumped off the Bandra-Worli Sea Link (BWSL) around 12 noon yesterday. Jalpa Pujari, who resides at her maternal house in Kandivali, tried to commit suicide over an alleged spat with her estranged husband about the custody of their three year-old daughter. She hailed a taxi from Santacruz (W) and instructed the cab driver, Vasant Kumar, to take her to the Worli sea face. When the taxi was nearing the Worli end of the sea link, Pujari requested Kumar to stop the vehicle, telling him that she had dropped her purse on the road.
