As the woman threatened to jump off the building, policemen from the Thane rural and Thane city police stations, and a fire brigade team rushed to the spot. “We tried to counsel her, but she broke a windowpane of the house that she had climbed and started to slash herself with it,” an officer from Thane police said.

He added that so far, no complaint had been registered against the woman for threatening to commit suicide. “Once she is discharged from the hospital, we will try to counsel her,” the officer said.
