‘Bye-bye, Papa’: What 21-year-old told father before jumping into Chenab
A 21-year-old woman reportedly leaped into the Chenab River on Saturday after a phone call with her father where she expressed, 'This is my life.' Despite the efforts of bystanders to change her mind, she proceeded with the drastic act. A combined rescue mission was initiated, but she has yet to be located, leaving her motives shrouded in uncertainty.
A 21-year-old woman named Payal Devi jumped into the Chenab River in Doda district on Saturday, according to police. Her final words to her father were "Bye-bye, papa," before disappearing underwater. The incident occurred around 2 pm at the Shiva Dal bridge near Prem Nagar. Devi called her father, Krishan Lal, before her death, saying "This is my life," which prompted him to ask her about the reason behind her actions.
Devi allegedly claimed that her heart told her to take this step, before ending the call. Passersby attempted to dissuade her from jumping, but she went ahead with the act. A joint rescue operation involving police, the State Disaster Response Force, and local volunteers was launched after the incident, but no trace of Devi was found.
