In a seemingly bizarre incident a 22-year-old man jumped off a bridge in a fit of rage after his mother refused to keep it at home as a pet. The man allegedly tried to commit suicide by jumping off the Meghdoot bridge near Marine Lines station. The incident took place on Tuesday evening when the man, who works in the merchant navy, bought a Persian cat to his home in Chira Bazaar. His mother was extremely distressed and didn’t allow the cat as a pet which led to an argument. The man then left his home in a fit of rage and jumped off the bridge sustaining several severe injuries.
