Mysore tragedy: 3-year-old girl falls to death from balcony

Playing on the balcony proved fatal for three-year-old Harshini, who fell to her death from the second-floor balcony of her house in Jayanagara, Mysore, at 8.30 am on Saturday.

Her mother Mala was busy with household chores and father Chandru was away when the accident occurred.

Harshini climbed onto a stone bench in the balcony, lost her balance and fell from the second-floor balcony.

She was rushed to a clinic where she was declared brought dead.
Her family decided not to inform the police and conducted the last rites by 9.30 am.

“I was in my farmland in Mandya when I got the message. But before I could reach Mysore, Harshini was buried. The last time I saw her was four months back,” said a relative.
