Constable Rishi Singh Tomar, posted at the fort police post, rushed to the spot. With the help of people nearby, he went down the fort cliff using a rope and found the woman still alive. He then informed senior officers and called the Nagar Nigam rescue team.
After nearly one and a half hours of rescue efforts, the woman was finally pulled up to safety with the help of ropes and the rescue team.
Police officials said that Constable Rishi Singh Tomar’s quick action and courage saved the woman’s life, as without timely help she could have slipped further into the deep gorge below and the incident could have turned fatal.
The woman suffered multiple injuries during the fall and was later admitted to a nearby hospital for treatment. Doctors confirmed that her condition is stable, and she is now out of danger.
Police have said that once the woman recovers and becomes fit to talk, they will record her statement.
The investigation will focus on finding out the exact reason that led her to attempt suicide at the historic fort, which was crowded with tourists at the time of the incident.
