Bank manager jumps into sea in Mumbai, wife cites ‘work pressure’

Senior police inspector Rohit Khot said, “We received information from the traffic department, after which teams were dispatched to the scene to locate the man.”

After searching Chakravarty’s vehicle, the police discovered his identity and learned that he lived in a rented apartment in Parel with his wife, seven-year-old daughter and mother-in-law.

An officer said, “We sent the vehicle’s registration number to the RTO who helped us with the name, address and the mobile number of the owner. As Chakravarty had jumped into the sea along with his phone and car key, we could not reach him, following which we sent a team to his address in Parel.”

“We called them to the police station and during the inquiry, Chakravarty’s wife told us that he was under work pressure,” Khot added.

The Sewri police, who are investigating the matter, said they have not found any note.

“Chakravarty was working as a manager at the bank’s Hutatma Chowk office in Fort. Over the weekend, he had taken his family for a getaway to Lonavala. On Monday, he informed his family that he was going to the office but instead went to Atal Setu and jumped off the bridge,” Khot said.

Search operations to locate Chakravarty were stopped by evening. “As it turned dark, we stopped the search operation but we will restart the operation on Tuesday. We have approached fishermen in the area to help with any information,” Khot added.
