Indore (Madhya Pradesh): A 16-year-old girl accidentally fell to her death from the third floor of her home in Kanadiya late Saturday evening. The incident occurred when she placed wet clothes on a rope while standing on a drum and fell from there after losing her balance. The deceased was identified as Payal, daughter of Rameshwar, a resident of Bhuri Tekri. She worked at a school.

The incident occurred around 12:30 p.m. and police were informed about the incident around 5 a.m. Her brother-in-law Praveen said the family returned home from Omkareshwar around 10:30 pm after the idol Durga was immersed.

Since it rained at night, her clothes were wet and she hung them on a rope to dry while standing on a drum. She lost her balance and fell from the third floor. The family members came to know about the incident when neighbors saw them lying on the ground. Police have launched an investigation to clarify the exact circumstances of the incident.

“She tried to scare brother.”

One of the girl’s relatives said that the girl fell from the third floor while trying to scare her brother. An argument broke out between them after her brother asked her for money for drugs and her mother refused to give him money. The girl then argued with him and went to the balcony to scare him and accidentally fell down because she lost her balance, the relative added.
