Inspector Meraj Ahmed's quick thinking saved the life of a 58-year-old woman living in a flat in Sarkarhat near Behal Bakultala. She allegedly tried to end her life by hanging.

The policeman said: “Mexico his son called a neighbor and asked him for help. A neighbor called them. So we asked the neighbor to ask his son to call us directly while we were getting ready to leave.”

Police said a call came in from Mexico soon after, in which the caller said his mother, who is severely depressed, informed him via video call that she was ending her life.

He said that after immediately getting the address from a local caller, we arrived at the apartment in just 10 minutes, taking the citizen volunteer and Officer Ahmed with us. The woman was about to hang herself, but the police broke down the apartment door.

DC (Behala) Soumya Roy said the woman was suffering from severe depression as she was currently living alone at home. Both her sons live with their families in Mexico and Guwahati, while her husband works and lives in Durgapur and visits Kolkata on weekends.
