Seeing the youths who went to stop, jumped

At around 6:30 pm on Sunday evening, Santlal climbed the flyover near Samalkha on the Delhi-Chandigarh highway. According to eyewitnesses, the former councilor talked about jumping in front of BlueJ. Meanwhile, people kept on persuading him to get down, but he was adamant on jumping off the flyover.
During this, some people tried to persuade Santlal by engaging in talks and sent two youths on a bike on the flyover to stop him from jumping. As soon as Santlal saw the bike riders coming towards him, he jumped.

Trying to handle it under the flyover went in vain

There the doctors declared Santalal brought dead. After this, the relatives cremated the body without informing the police.
