I urge all housing society members to please install grills so that mishaps don’t happen,” said Hazequa Kapadia, 15, a Nagpada resident who sustained injuries to her brain after a frying pan fell on her head from the 22-storey Danish Villa building in 2017. The incident is strikingly similar to the one that occurred on August 6, where a Labrador fell on a five-year-old Mumbra girl, killing her.
Hazequa, who recently scored 82 per cent in the SSC examination and aspires to be an engineer, has been conferred two bravery awards by the community. The girl’s aunt said that her skull injury didn’t stop her from doing daily activities and being a favourite of teachers at Agripada’s St Joseph’s high school where she studied.
