A youth identified as Sachin Bapurao Gore, 30, from Nira, jumped off a British-era bridge into the overflowing Nira River on Monday at around 5 p.m. The river's overflow was due to a significant discharge of 43,083 cusecs from the Veer Dam.

Witnesses reported that Gore, a resident of Neera Ward No. 3, appeared to be under the influence of alcohol. He was seen removing his clothes and attempting to jump from the bridge despite efforts by several bystanders to stop him.
