Identifying the 22-year-old woman as Swagatika Das, a native of Jharkhand, police said the woman accidentally fell to her death around 10.20pm.
The police are investigating the death of an Infosys employee, who fell from the terrace of her fiance’s rented accommodation at Kannappa Agrahara in Electronics City on Monday night.
Identifying the 22-year-old woman as Swagatika Das, a native of Jharkhand, police said the woman accidentally fell to her death around 10.20pm.
“She fell from the terrace after losing balance while she was sitting on the parapet. She sustained serious head injuries in the fall,” police inspector Premasai Gundappa Rai said.
Das was staying in a paying guest accommodation along with four other women. Her fiance, Robin Mandela, also from Jharkhand, stayed in the opposite building with three others.
The woman went to Mandela’s accommodation on Monday night, and both of them were talking on the terrace when she asked him for water. The man reportedly told the police that he had seen her trying to sit on the parapet when he went downstairs to fetch water.
“I was about to enter my room when I heard a huge sound. I came out and saw Swagatika on the ground,” Mandela, employed with American Power Conversion, told the police.
Mandela and others rushed the woman to Apollo Hospital in JP Nagar, where she died.
The police said Das and Mandela had been engaged and were to marry soon. They had met while working in Pune.
The deceased, a graduate in information technology, had been a systems executive with Infosys Technologies for the past eight months.
Mandela used to pick Das up from her workplace every day at 8 pm. However, on Monday, he returned straight to his room since he was tired. After returning to her accommodation, she went to Mandela’s room, and took him out to the terrace.
The Electronics City police registered a case of unnatural death on Tuesday, after their JP Nagar counterparts had informed them of the incident.
Das’s body has been kept in Apollo Hospital, where a post-mortem examination would be conducted after her parents’ arrival from Jharkhand. Her Delhi-based brother reached Bangalore on Tuesday.
