From offering parathas to singing patriotic songs, Constable Subhada Salaskar did everything she could to save a mentally ill man standing on a part of the facade of a Borivli East building, on Sunday. The mentally ill man told the constable that he wanted to join the Army. It took Salaskar one and a half hours of patient convincing and the help of the fire brigade to bring the man safely down.

The incident took place at 3 pm in Gopal Bhoomi society located at SV Road, Daulat Nagar, in Borivli East. A part of the building is covered with bamboo scaffolding for repair work. The man used the bamboos to climb up to the third floor level. There, he settled on a portion of the building facade that served as a ledge.
