West Bengal: A man jumps from the 8th floor

On Saturday morning, there was a rukus when a mentally ill patient managed to get past medical staff and make it to the hospital's eighth-floor balcony. When the hospital staff discovered this, they attempted to bring him down but  He wasn't ready to go back.  Firefighters on the other hand were attempting to bring him down using stairs, but he was reluctant to get down. He kept saying he was going to leap from there, which raised the possibility of a serious accident, which eventually did occur.


Sudhir Adhikari, the patient, "dropped off at about 1:10 pm and struck the cornice of the floors below at least thrice before landing on the ground," according to the report by PTI
