India, June 27 -- Troubled by financial distress and pending loans, a 51-year-old garment dealer on Friday visited the Siddhivinayak Temple, then took a cab for Bandra, asked the driver to halt on the Bandra Worli Sea Link (BWSL) and jumped off into the sea, leaving his phone in the vehicle. The man's body was fished out by the fire brigade using inflated rubber boats after fishermen and marine police failed to reach the spot as the sea was rough.

According to the Worli police, around 11.55am on Friday, the main control room of the Mumbai police informed them that a man had jumped into the sea from the BWSL connecting point. The police got in touch with local fishermen, but they were unable to fetch him due to a rough sea.
