Lahane and his colleagues immediately cut the sari and administered the man cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) even as they rushed him to the Rajawadi hospital by an ambulance.
The man survived and was now recovering, said constable Lahane.
“He apparently tried to kill himself after a quarrel with the wife. Had we been five minutes late, he would have died," he added.
Further probe is underway, Lahane said.
