The incident occurred around 6 pm on Friday, she reportedly went to the terrace. Soon after, hospital staff said they heard a loud sound and found her lying on the ground with severe injuries and bleeding.
The police were informed immediately, and she was rushed to the hospital ward. However, doctors declared her dead before she could be admitted.
During the preliminary investigation, some doctors told the police that she was on her phone when she lost balance and fell. Even though the case appears to be a suicide as per the police's preliminary report, an investigation to determine the exact reason behind her death is underway.
Speaking to HT, the police officer from the JJ Marg police station said, "While initial findings suggested accidental death, the viscera samples have been sent to the forensic lab for further investigation to determine the exact cause of death. At present, we have registered a case of accidental death (ADR) and are investigating whether she died by suicide or if there is any foul play involved."
Following her death, the police informed her family members and handed over her body to them after completing the autopsy.
