Passers-by, who were witnessed to the entire incident, had tried to convince him not to take the drastic step, but he ended his life even as police rushed to the spot.

Immediately, divers were summoned but the man could not be saved. Later police fished out his body around 9:30 pm.

The reason behind the extreme step could be a one sided love, probably related to someone who is there on his friend list on the website, a senior police official said.
