Two men died after falling off an under construction building in east Delhi’s Krishna Nagar.
The police identified them as Rajesh Rastogi and his friend Amit Malhotra. The duo had gone to see the property as one of them was planning to buy a flat in the under construction residential building, and suspect that they fell while looking down from the balcony of a fourth floor apartment.
The security guard of the building raised an alarm and called police. The police team that rushed to the spot found them lying upside down outside the building. The police said they died on the spot and their bodies were shifted to a nearby government hospital and their families were informed.
According to the police, the security guard informed that the two men visited the building to see the flat Rastogi was planning to purchase. Rastogi had visited the property earlier as well.
The primary investigation showed that the two were looking down from the balcony that had no railing. Even the flooring was incomplete and filled with broken bricks. The developer too confirmed Rastogi was planning to buy the apartment in his building, police added.
The police have begun inquest proceedings in the case.
