The Suicide Attempt...

Police said Pachkale was upset after the Rajgad Police Station registered his complaint as a non-cognisable offence. He was reportedly demanding that police register a cognisable case instead.

In protest, Pachkale climbed onto the grill outside the fifth floor of the collector's office building, triggering tension at the premises. Officials from the District Collector’s office, police personnel and fire brigade teams reached the spot and began speaking with him.

After prolonged discussions, officials assured Pachkale that his complaint would be examined properly. Following the intervention, he agreed to come down safely, and no injuries were reported in the incident.

Police later took him to the station for further inquiry and legal formalities.
