A 23-year-old man from Uttar Pradesh attempted to live stream his suicide on Facebook but was saved by police after being alerted by Meta.
The man had recently suffered a financial loss of ₹90,000, which was meant for his sister's wedding, and was under distress.
The police were able to locate the man's home in Ghaziabad within 15 minutes of the start of the live stream with the help of Meta's information and the quick action of the Vijay Nagar SHO.
The man was counseled by the police and his family members, and is now back in Kannauj with them.
