In a similar incident, in 2023, a 12-year-old boy fell to his death from his home on the 18th floor of a high-rise in Greater Noida West. The incident took place in Tower 9 of Ace Divine society, when the child, Manish Giri, was alone at home. He was playing on the balcony while his mother had gone down for a stroll in the society compound. While calling his mother from the balcony, the boy lost his balance and fell over the balcony railing.
In 2024, a child died after a part of the terrace collapsed at his house. The minor was soon rushed to a nearby hospital by his parents. Unfortunately, the doctors declared him dead on arrival. The building was old, and a portion of the terrace, measuring around 50 square yards, suddenly gave way while the six-year-old was playing on it.
