The man, said to be a farmer from a village near Shravanabelagola, was reportedly facing health and financial difficulties.

According to police, the man had left home on Friday morning without informing his family. Though relatives contacted him over phone and urged him to return, he allegedly stated that he intended to end his life.

The police intervened in time, rescued him safely and brought him to the police station, where he was counselled and later reunited with his family.

The operation was led by inspector Salim Abbas along with sub-inspector Jnanashekar, ASI Subrahmanya and other police personnel.
