He climbed up the skywalk in a drunken state and started threatening the authorities that he would jump.
He was being treated for a mental illness in 2003 and is also epileptic. Kumar was shifted to Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar Memorial Hospital (DBRAMH) after he had a seizure attack.

After hearing about the incident, MLA Kuldeep Juneja reached the spot and tried to pacify the man, along with the police personnel.
