Having jumped off a flyover apparently irked at not being able to get married, Vasanth landed on the bonnet of a car, only to face a police case for his failed suicide attempt.
The man suffered a fracture in his shoulder as a result of the fall and is recuperating at a government hospital, police said today.
The damage to the vehicle included a broken windscreen.
A police official probing the case said Vasanth was apparently dejected over not finding a bride, and suddenly jumped off a flyover here at Royapettah High Road on Sunday night.
"He, however, fell on a car below and landed on its bonnet, suffering a fracture in his shoulder," the police said.
He was rushed to a government hospital where he is recuperating.
Police have filed a case of attempt to suicide under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) against Vasant and a probe is on.
