5-Year-Old Tragically Falls from 22nd-Floor Balcony in Gurgaon

The Gurgaon community was left in shock on Saturday after a 5-year-old boy tragically died in a freak accident at a highrise apartment. Rudra Tej Singh, the son of a builder and a doctor, had gone out to play with his nanny around 5:30 pm when the tragic incident occurred.

As the nanny and Rudra were returning to their flat on the 22nd floor, the young boy ran ahead after exiting the lift. This inadvertently caused the flat's door to shut from the inside, leaving the nanny unable to enter. Desperate to call for help, Rudra went to the balcony and climbed onto a clothes rack, but lost his balance and fell to the ground below.

Residents in the Pioneer Presidia Society immediately rushed Rudra to Maringo Asia Hospital, but he was declared dead on arrival. The body has been sent for a post-mortem examination, and the police are investigating the circumstances of the fall, though initial findings suggest it was an accident.

The tragic incident has raised serious concerns about child safety in highrise apartments. The society management has stated that they will review and enhance safety measures to prevent similar tragedies in the future. As the community mourns the loss of the young life, the authorities are determined to ensure that such accidents do not occur again.
