Overview
- The victim was identified as 16-year-old Kavin (Kabin) Kumar, who was taken to Pentamed Hospital after the December 28 incident and was declared dead.
- Police say he was on a rooftop with three school friends when he climbed onto a plastic or fibreglass panel between adjoining shops that gave way.
- Recent reports place the fall inside the long-abandoned North Gate/Orbit Plaza mall, though earlier accounts cited the Invitation Restaurant rooftop in nearby Gujranwala Town.
- A crime team and forensic experts have inspected the site, officers are reviewing CCTV and videos shown by classmates, witness statements have been recorded, and inquest proceedings are underway with no FIR filed so far.
- The family alleges foul play, questions the friends’ conduct and site access, and investigators are probing indications the teens were making social-media reels at the time.
