Bengaluru, Apr 28: A 26-year-old software engineer and mother of a newborn died after accidentally falling from the balcony of her eighth floor apartment in Begur Koppa, here.
She was said to be drying her hair while peeping out of her bedroom window when she slipped and fell.
The deceased, Chandana Nagesh, a software engineer with Infosys, was on maternity leave and had delivered a baby boy six days ago, the police said.
Her mother and mother-in-law, who had come to look after the baby, were at home when the incident occurred around 6.30 pm on Tuesday at the SNN Raj Serenity gated community on Begur Main Road, Yelenahalli, off Bannerghatta Road.
Chandana had just taken a shower and come to the bedroom to dry her hair. She had opened the sliding glass window and was peeping out when she slipped and crashed straight on the cement floor below. Chandana's mother-in-law Meenakshi and her mother Manjula Nagesh were taking care of the baby at that time.
The guards heard a loud thud from the back of the D2 Block, rushed to the spot and found Chandana lying in a pool of blood. While the guards were going up and down the floors trying to find out from which floor she had fallen from, her relatives had by then realised that it was Chandana who had slipped and fallen. The family members rushed her to a hospital nearby where she was declared brought dead, the police said.
Her body was then shifted to Victoria Hospital on Tuesday night and the postmortem was conducted on Wednesday. The body was handed over to the family members, who took it to Mandya for the final rites.
A case of unnatural death has been registered at the Electronic City police station and the cops are investigating further. Her husband Abhilash is a software engineer with Siemens.
The kidnapped schoolboy was rescued by the police and reunited with his parents. Son of a gift shop owner from Basavanagudi area in Bengaluru, Chirag has reportedly told police that decided to make some quick money to spend on cricket betting and gambling after learning kidnap tricks from the ‘Crime Patrol’. According to police, Chirag reached a private school around 3pm on Tuesday on a Bounce rental bike and zeroed in on a fourth standard student who was walking out of school. He told the boy he was his father's friend and that he required help to search for a relative who had gone missing. The boy believed Chirag and rode pillion on the bike. Chirag then engaged the boy in conversation and learnt about his father's business and got his mobile phone number. He then made a call to the boy's father, demanded Rs 5 lakh and warned him against approaching cops. However, the boy's father alerted Cottonpet police and special teams were formed to crack the case. While Cottonpet inspector Venkatesh TC's squad verified CCTV footage in and around the school, Chamarajpet inspector BG Kumaraswamy's team started tracking the suspect's mobile phone movements. An hour later, the suspect's location was traced to a hotel on the Lavelle Road-St Mark's Road stretch. Police rushed there, rescued the boy and arrested Chirag.
