ACP Singh said police received a call regarding the incident around 11.30 am. A purported video of the incident shows people standing on the balcony, appearing to try to save the victim before he falls off.
According to a police officer, a preliminary inquiry has found that the victim was under stress because of financial problems.
“He had been messaging his father for the past few days saying that he did not want to live anymore. He had not gone home for many days and had been staying at different places. He checked in alone into the short rental stay at the building, which is listed online, on Friday. We have informed the family,” the officer said.
