New Delhi: A 35-year-old man died by suicide after allegedly jumping from the 43rd floor of the Supernova Spira building in Sector 94, Noida, on Saturday. The deceased has been identified as Sambhav Jain, a resident of Manesar in Gurugram.

According to police, Jain had booked a room at the high-rise through an online platform and had checked in a day before the incident. He had reportedly come to the building alone for a one-day stay. The incident falls under the jurisdiction of the Sector 126 Police Station.

The incident took place after Jain was reportedly seen near the balcony railing of the high-rise. An AC repair team working in a neighbouring flat noticed him and attempted to intervene. Despite their efforts to stop him, he allegedly jumped from the 43rd floor.

A video of the incident has also surfaced, showing the man near the outer ledge of the balcony while people on the ground and others nearby reacted to the situation. According to reports, AC technicians working in the neighbouring apartment tried to convince Jain to return to safety. He reportedly told them that he was depressed and did not want to live.

Police said Jain died at the spot following the fall. The impact resulted in severe injuries. Police reached the location after receiving information about the incident and took the body into custody. A panchnama was prepared before post-mortem proceedings were initiated.
