4-year-old falls from 12th floor after mother placed her on shoe rack near window (video)

A four-year-old girl in Mumbai died after accidentally falling off the window of a 12th-floor house.

The woman sees her daughter walking around, so she lifts her and seats her on the top of a shoe cupboard rack. The woman then bends to wears her slippers and picks up her daughter’s sandals. 

While the mother’s attention was on her slippers, Anvika stands on the cupboard, tries to sit on the windowsill, but before she can balance herself on the edge, she falls to the ground. 

Shocked, Anvika’s mother cries for help. The neighbours come out of their homes and rush to pick up the girl. 

Anvika was taken to Sir DM Petit Hospital in Vasai West, where she was declared dead.
