A three-year-old boy fell from the eighth floor of a building in Vikhroli (West) on Sunday night through a window of the flat. The 23-storey building, a SRA project, was handed over to the residents in January 2022. Despite residents’ requests for safety grills, the developer paid no attention. Parksite police have filed an accidental death report (ADR) as no complaint has been received from the parents or relatives of the deceased.
Dalpat Singh, 29, who had recently moved from Rajasthan to Vikhroli, was running a medical shop. He lived with his wife, Angaas Kunwar, their daughter Divyanshi, and their youngest son Shivraj, 3, in a rented flat, number 803, at Siddhivinayak CHS for a year. On Sunday, while Dalpat was at the shop, he received a call from a neighbour informing him that Shivraj had fallen from the window. Dalpat rushed home from the shop, which was around 200 meters away.
