A disgruntled boyfriend tried to jump from a balcony in a Rajasthan High Court courtroom after a custody order, but was rescued by lawyers and later arrested for disturbing peace.
The Rajasthan High Court ordered that the guardianship of a young woman be transferred to her aunt, a decision that angered her boyfriend present in the courtroom. In a dramatic turn, the man climbed onto a balcony and attempted to jump, prompting immediate intervention by several lawyers who pulled him to safety.
Court officials quickly secured the area, and the police arrived within minutes. The suspect was taken into custody on charges of disturbing public peace and creating a safety hazard inside the court premises.
Investigators have also opened a probe into allegations that the couple may have used a falsified marriage certificate, a matter that could lead to further legal action.
The incident underscores heightened emotions surrounding family custody disputes and the need for strict security protocols in judicial settings.
The court will continue to hear the custody case, while the police complete their investigation into the alleged document fraud.
