The body of a 40-year-old banker who jumped off the trans-harbour Atal Setu was found washed up on the seashore in Navi Mumbai on Tuesday, the police said. On Monday morning Sushant Chakravarti, a deputy manager with a nationalised bank, had left home telling his wife that he was going to the office. Instead of going to his office at Fort, Chakravarti parked his SUV on the bridge at Sewri and jumped into the sea at 10 am on Monday, an officer said.

Chakravarti’s wife claimed he had work pressure. A search and rescue operation was launched and the Sewri police traced the family based on the vehicle’s number plate, senior police inspector Rohit Khot of Sewri police station said. On Tuesday, the police were informed that a body had washed up on the shore at JNPT in Navi Mumbai, and it was identified, he said. Chakravarti is survived by his wife and seven-year-old daughter, the officer said. A case of accidental death was registered, he said.
