PRAYAGRAJ, Aug. 21 -- Once again, a Meta alert has saved a young life-this time in Kaushambi district on Sunday night. After detecting an online suicide threat, Meta notified the Kaushambi police via a tweet on X (formerly Twitter). Acting quickly, police located the youth, brought him to the station for counseling, and safely reunited him with his family. The youth accepted responsibility in writing and vowed not to repeat the act.

According to reports, the youth had recently returned home after working in a private company in Maharashtra following his graduation. On Sunday night, he posted a video on Instagram showing a pesticide bottle and threatening to commit suicide. Meta staff traced his profile and alerted the police.
