The Story in Brief
A woman died after falling from a flyover in Delhi on Tuesday, police said. The Shakurpur resident, a mother of two, had left home without informing her family. Police added that she had not been well for a week and was 'mentally unwell', according to ndtv.com.
The incident occurred in the Punjabi Bagh area. Authorities are investigating the circumstances of the fall. No foul play is suspected at this stage, the report said.
The Indian Opinion
Too often, mental health struggles are reduced to a police line in crime reports, with no follow-up on the system that failed the person. The label 'mentally unwell' does not explain why this mother of two felt she had no recourse. Until India's mental health helplines and community outreach are actually funded and staffed, such tragedies will keep being filed as isolated cases. The real test is whether any public health inquiry follows this death.
