The police, after taking statements from family members, revealed that Alex had traveled to Mumbai for a meeting. "On Tuesday morning, he went to Chembur to meet his father-in-law and was returning to Pune via the Atal Setu when he stopped on the bridge and jumped. CCTV footage from the bridge showed a car stopping, after which the monitoring team alerted the patrolling officers, who quickly reached the spot. The rescue team recovered the body, which was handed over to his family," said an police officer.
The family has scheduled a prayer meeting at a church in Chembur on Thursday, after which the body will be taken to Pune for the last rites.
