On May 22, 2026, the Panambur police successfully rescued a farmer from Channapatna in Hassan district, Karnataka, who was on the verge of committing suicide by jumping into the Phalguni river from Kuloor bridge. The farmer had been struggling with serious health issues and financial difficulties, which led him to leave his home early that morning and travel to Mangaluru. When contacted by his family, he expressed his intent to end his life but did not reveal his whereabouts. Concerned for his safety, his family reached out to a retired police officer, who promptly informed the Panambur police. Inspector Saleem Abbas and his team acted quickly, locating the farmer near the bridge. After counseling him against his drastic decision, the police brought him to the station and later reunited him with his family. This incident highlights the ongoing efforts of local authorities to prevent suicides, following a similar case in November 2025 where the police intervened to save a man and his young daughter at Tannirbhavi beach.
