The Afghan national identified as Shakib Ali, a student of the BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration) course at Nizam College here, went atop the two-storied building in order to jump off it, said police.
In the incident, which was caught on camera, the youngster can be seen getting down on to the first floor from the top floor by holding onto the water pipes.
He later tried to jump from the first floor but was thwarted by others who immediately held onto his hands.
RGIA police station inspector M Mahesh said that inquiries with the student's uncle revealed that Ali was suffering from some psychiatric problem.
"We handed him over to his uncle. No case has been registered as he is a mentally-disturbed person," Mahesh added.
