Kanpur Man's Fall Sparks Foul Play Allegations

A 22-year-old man, Sambhav Khandelwal, died under suspicious circumstances on Saturday after falling from the sixth floor of an apartment in Kanpur's Bithoor area. His family has alleged foul play, citing visible injury marks on his body and a mysterious final message sent from the woman whose flat he had visited, which read 'Don't Come'. This message was reportedly sent around 2 pm, shortly after Sambhav had left home around 1:30 pm to meet her.

While Sambhav's family suspects he was assaulted and pushed from the building, the woman's family claims he slipped accidentally. According to her maternal uncle, Sambhav fell while attempting to retrieve a ball from the balcony, slipping on spilled oil. Police have secured the scene, collected evidence, and sent the body for a post-mortem examination. Authorities are investigating the conflicting accounts and will proceed based on the forensic report and the family's formal complaint.
