MUMBAI: A police constable attached with the Sakinaka police station negotiated with a man who climbed a 50-feet hillock at Sangharsh Nagar to end his life on Wednesday. The suicide drama lasted 30-minutes when the constable Suhas Nevase followed Nawab Mansoori (35) and climbed the hillock barefoot without any safety gears. Mansoori was frustrated and has been financially disturbed. Nevase who has got commando training kept a distance of 5 feet from Mansoori and promised to help him to get his salary from his employer.At around 5pm, the Sakinaka police received a distress call from the police control room and was told about a man trying to end his life from the hillock. “He climbed the hillock drunk. Nevase without thinking climbed the hill and managed to convince Mansoori to accompany him. Nevase with his presence of mind got Mansoori engaged in talks which helped in catching him,” said Sakinaka police senior inspector Avinash Dharmadhikari On receipt of the call, Nevase along with few other policemen and an officer reached the spot where many onlookers were found recording the entire drama. “Mansoori was shouting from the hillock that he is going to jump. Without thinking for a second, I removed my shoes and crawled through the same path that Mansoori took to reach the hillock. The route was scary but my target was to rescue him,” Nevase told TOI.The Mumbai police twitter handle applauded Nevase’s effort. “Nevase risked his life and after negotiating with Mansoori for 30 minutes, convinced him properly and brought him down safely. Locals recorded the entire drama. The audio gives clear indication of the risk that has been taken by our constable Nevase,” said Dharmadhikari.Mansoori, a native of Rajasthan, does odd jobs in hotel and stays on the footpath. “When Nevase and sub-inspector Mhatre reached the spot, there were about several onlookers there and the man was standing on the edge of the hillock. It was difficult to reach there. We had called the fire brigade but Nevase thought the man would have jumped by the time the firemen arrived, so he decided to try and save him,” the senior inspector said.
