Summary
- 5-year-old boy fell from 22nd-floor balcony in Gurugram

On November 12th, 2025, a tragic incident occurred in Gurugram, India, where a 5-year-old boy lost his life in a balcony fall from a high-rise residential tower. The child, Rudra Tej Singh, had returned home around 5:30 PM on Saturday with a domestic help, while his parents, a builder named Prakash Chandra and a doctor, were away.
As Rudra stepped out of the lift, he ran into the flat, and the main door, which had an auto-lock system, shut behind him, leaving the domestic help locked outside. Alone and frightened, the child reportedly went to the balcony and climbed onto a clothes-drying bar while calling for help. Tragically, the boy lost his balance and plunged from the 22nd floor.
