While on the Sea Link, Singh, engaged in a mobile phone conversation, suddenly claimed that his phone had fallen off the vehicle. The driver parked the taxi on the side of the Sea Link, at which point Singh disembarked and jumped into the sea.
Immediately after Singh's leap, the taxi driver alerted the toll plaza personnel. The Worli Police were notified, initiating a search for the victim.
