KOCHI: Kerala police successfully rescued a 25-year-old man from Mulavukad who was on the verge of committing suicide after posting a suicide note on social media. The young man, reportedly distressed over his unemployment, had decided to take his own life.

The situation came to light when the husband of Gaurilakshmi, an officer in the office of Range DIG Putta Vimaladya, noticed the concerning social media post. The DIG was immediately alerted, who in turn directed Aluva Rural Police Chief Dr Vaibhav Saxena to initiate a rescue operation.
