Overview
- The woman, identified by local reports as 21-year-old Payal Devi, reportedly jumped from the Shiva Dal bridge near Prem Nagar at about 2 p.m. on Saturday.
- Her father, Krishan Lal, told police she called him before the incident saying 'This is my life' and then 'Bye-bye, Papa,' words that shaped early accounts of the event.
- Passersby recorded video at the scene that shows bystanders trying to stop her and that footage has circulated widely on social media.
- Police, State Disaster Response Force teams and local volunteers launched a joint search of the Chenab that has so far not found her, with strong currents and rough terrain complicating operations.
- Officials say the motive remains unknown and investigators are continuing the search while gathering witness statements and other evidence to establish what led to the jump.
