An SBI clerk died after falling from the 10th floor of a residential tower in Mohali late on Wednesday night. The deceased was a resident of Hoshiarpur. He worked as a clerk with the State Bank of India and lived with his family in SBI Colony, Sector 42-C, Chandigarh.
The deceased has been identified as 38 years old Vikram Singh. He was working as a clerk at the State Bank of India (SBI) in Sector 8, Chandigarh.
The incident took place at around 12:25 am in Tower No. 3 of a residential society in the SBP North Valley area. Residents said they heard a loud sound and rushed to the parking area, where they found him lying on the ground. He was wearing earphones at the time of the incident.
A backpack containing a water bottle was found near the body, while his mobile phone was found safely in his pocket. Residents also said that he appeared to have hit a network cable attached to the outside of the building while falling. The impact reportedly snapped the cable, which also fell to the ground.
According to the police, the deceased had visited the society on Wednesday evening to meet his sister, Sunanda, who lives in Flat No. 913 on the ninth floor. Family members told investigators that he appeared normal throughout the evening.
He is survived by his wife, who is a homemaker, and two children. Police are trying to determine how he reached the upper floors of the building and what led to the fall.
“We have sent the body for a postmortem examination. We have also learned that the deceased was suffering from certain medical issues. We are investigating all aspects of the case and trying to determine how he fell from the building,” said Sub-Inspector Balwinder Singh.
More details will be released soon.
