NRI Boy Jumps Off Golden Gate Bridge In US, Dies
According to his parents and US Coast Guard officials, an indian American kid is thought to have died after jumping off San Francisco's renowned Golden Gate Bridge. Bicycle, phone, and backpack belonging to the 16-year-old youngster were discovered on the bridge. According to them, the 12th student is thought to have leaped off the bridge at approximately 4:58 p.m. The coastal guards reported that after they established they saw "a human" drop from the bridge, they promptly launched a two-hour search and rescue operation. There is not much evidence to support the boy's survival, they claimed.
According to community leader Ajay Jain Bhutoria, this is the fourth instance in which an indian American has jumped off the Golden Bridge in what appears to be an attempt at suicide. 25 people took their own lives on the Golden Gate Bridge last year, and approximately 2,000 suicide cases have been reported since the bridge opened in 1937, according to the Bridge rail Foundation, a nonprofit organisation that seeks to prevent suicides on the bridge.
The 1.7-mile bridge will have a 20-foot-wide iron mesh installed on both sides by the state government. The project, which was supposed to be finished by january of this year, is now behind schedule, and the cost of building it has increased from 137.26 million euros to about 386.64 million euros. The project's work began in 2018.
