In latest news from Doon, a high drama unfolded at the Doon Hospital after a youth who came from Ramnagar, Nainital climbed the 5th floor roof of the facility and started threatening to jump off while sitting dangerously on the edge of a wall. Doctors said that the patient who complained of troubled breathing told them someone had stolen his cell phone.
Immediately upon being informed, police and fire department personnel rushed and tried to persuade him to come down. But he paid no heed to them and continued threatening to jump off. After about two hours’ futile persuasion, the police and fire personnel succeeded in grabbing and bringing him down.
Police said he was talking of going abroad. “We suspect his mental health is not sound,” said a police officer who was involved in the rescue operation. Hospital sources said he was being treated.
