Mumbai Cyber Police trace Marathi actor Vikas Samudre after a Facebook post appeared to suggest he was committing suicide, triggering public concern on Friday night. Officers began a rapid search shortly after the post went viral.
Multiple reports say the wording was caused by a typographical error in the post, which alarmed viewers. Police traced Samudre within about an hour, reaching him in the early hours of Saturday. The actor later clarified that he was safe and that the post was connected to a drama project rather than a genuine self-harm threat. One outlet notes that senior police leadership also became involved as the post circulated widely.
Across sources, the central points remain the same: an apparently concerning social media message leads to a cyber-police response; the actor is located quickly and confirms his safety; and the incident is attributed to a mix-up tied to an acting or theatre-related effort, rather than a real attempt.
