Bengaluru Woman Dies After Fall From 13th Floor of Unfinished Building

Authorities are probing safety failures at the long-disputed site after registering an unnatural death case.

Overview

  • Nandini, a 21-year-old sales executive from Chittoor, fell from the 13th floor on June 21 while partying with three friends at the Rayasandra construction site.
  • The under-construction building has been unoccupied for over a decade due to an ownership dispute and lacked basic safety measures such as a covered elevator shaft.
  • Police say the group was recording social media videos when Nandini lost her footing and plunged down the open shaft.
  • Two male friends fled the scene before officers arrived, while the female companion remained to provide statements to Parappana Agrahara police.
  • Investigators are also examining whether local civic bodies had been alerted to the site’s unsafe condition.
