The incident, which took place within the Vidhana Soudha police limits, occurred at approximately 5:36 PM following an alleged family-related issue.

The rescue operation was initiated after the Namma 112 Emergency Helpline received a call reporting that the woman was attempting suicide by consuming tablets. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the helpline operators immediately dispatched the information to the Hoysala-43 patrol vehicle of the Commercial Street police.

Upon their arrival, the officers discovered that the 40-year-old woman had already consumed the tablets and was in critical need of immediate medical intervention. The police personnel quickly secured the woman and rushed her to Bowring and Lady Curzon Hospital for emergency medical care.

At the hospital, doctors and medical staff provided immediate treatment to the woman. Medical professionals later confirmed that she was successfully treated and declared out of danger once her condition had stabilized.

Following the successful medical intervention, the Hoysala team handed the woman over to the Vidhana Soudha police to complete the necessary legal formalities and follow-up procedures.
