Bangalore 8: A 21-year-old youth celebrating his birthday in the company of his friends died in the early hours of Saturday when he fell from the 13th floor of an apartment building in Sanjay Nagar police limits.

Adit Nair, a II year BBM student at CMR College, Banaswadi and his friends decided to celebrate his April 8 birthday two days early, as some of them would not be in town on the day. Nair, a resident of Indiranagar II Phase, and his friends gathered at the flat of his friend Namith on the 10th floor of Chartered Apartments in Bhoopasandra around 9:30 pm on Friday. The flat belongs to Namith’s father, Dr Ashok Kumar, who heads the radiology department in M S Ramaiah Hospital.

The party went on till late in the night. Around 2 am, the boys who were allegedly drunk, moved to the terrace on the 13th floor. In high spirits, Adit climbed on to the 3 x3 feet wide ventilation shaft between the apartment blocks, that was covered by a slender fibre sheet.

But the thin cover was unable to hold his weight and gave way, plunging him straight to an instantaneous death, police said. The impact of the fall was such that the body and face were disfigured beyond recognition.

Adit’s family had moved to Bangalore from Kerala and is settled in Indiranagar. His father, Jagan Mohan is a manager with a construction firm.

Suja Bennet, principal of CMR Institute of Management Studies said: “ He was a very pleasant boy who took part in extra curricular activities and still managed to perform good in academics. The college will mourn the loss of its student on Monday morning.”
