A minor girl allegedly fell to death from a hillock in south Delhi’s Vasant Kunj area on Sunday. The girl was playing with her friends.
Investigating officers confirmed that the incident took place in Rajauri hills in Vasant Kunj area at around 2.30 pm. The deceased has been identified as Mansi, 10, a Class 3 student at a local government school.
Sources said that it seemed the girl lost her balance and slipped off the hillock and fell 40 feet down when some sand beneath her feet gave way.
“The girl was playing with her friends. The sand below her feet gave way as she was running to the other side,” said a senior police officer. The girl was rushed to a nearby hospital but was declared brought dead, said the police. The investigations do not point towards any possibility of foul play in the incident.
