Mother and 11-Year-Old Die in 13th-Floor Fall in Greater Noida as Police Probe Note

Police are treating the case as suspected suicide after recovering a note indicating the mother's distress over her son's illness.

Overview

  • The fall occurred around 10 a.m. from a balcony at Ace City Society in the Bisrakh area of Greater Noida West, leaving Sakshi Chawla, 37, and her son, Daksh, 11, dead at the scene.
  • Officers recovered a note from the apartment that reportedly says no one is responsible and references the mother's anguish; handwriting and contents are under forensic examination.
  • Investigators say the child had a prolonged neurological or mental condition, a factor they believe may have contributed to the mother's state of mind.
  • Police sent the bodies for post-mortem, are recording statements from family and neighbours, and said a clearer picture will follow the autopsy report.
  • Accounts differ on how the fall unfolded, with some reports calling it a double suicide and others describing a rescue attempt, which police say they are verifying.
