He is reported to have fractured his hand.

The police said Jain, 26, jumped off the second-floor balcony of Karkardooma court complex around 3.30 pm after Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Rakesh Pandit dismissed his bail application, noting the “seriousness” of his offence.

Post-verdict, as the case investigation officer was taking Jain back to the lock-up, he managed to free his hands and flee — he then allegedly jumped off the balcony. Jain was taken to the court’s medical centre.

On Thursday, Jain had stabbed his wife Geeta inside a courtroom in presence of the judge and other court staff. The police had at the time said the attack, in public view, came following an argument between the couple — the two are fighting a domestic violence case.

Married in July 2006, they had reportedly been staying separately for more than a year. Jain was allegedly persuading Geeta to reach an “out of court” settlement — he was the main accused in the case — but she refused to budge. This, police said, incited Jain, who threatened to kill her.
