In Gurugram, a 22-year-old woman, Boringi Parvati, tragically died after falling from the fourth-floor terrace of her residence. The incident occurred between 10:30 pm and 11:00 pm on a Tuesday night when Parvati and her husband, Pati Duryodhan Rao, were enjoying the cool breeze on their terrace after having dinner.

According to police reports, Parvati playfully climbed onto the terrace wall and sat on the ledge with her legs dangling on either side. She then jokingly asked her husband if he would catch her if she were to fall. Rao, a 28-year-old social media content moderator, asked her to get down and reached out to pull her back to safety.

Tragically, as she attempted to climb down, Parvati lost her balance and slipped off the ledge. Rao tried to catch her, and she clung to his arms. Both of them cried out for help, but no one was nearby to hear them. For nearly two minutes, Rao struggled to pull his wife back up, but she eventually slipped from his grasp and fell.

Parvati landed on a soft, wet patch of land behind the building and sustained severe internal injuries. Rao immediately rushed her to a hospital, but she succumbed to her injuries approximately half an hour later. Rao, devastated by the sudden loss, expressed his grief, stating, "It was my bad luck; otherwise, we were leading a happy married life".

Police investigations have ruled out any foul play in Parvati's death. Sandeep Kumar, the public relations officer of Gurugram police, noted that Rao had bruises on his forearms and chest, which were caused by his struggle to save his wife. Parvati's family also stated they did not suspect any foul play. Inspector Yogesh Kumar, the SHO of DLF Phase 3 police station, confirmed that no complaint was filed by the family and that Parvati's body was handed over to them after a post-mortem examination.

The couple, originally from the Ganjam district of Odisha, had been married for two years and had recently celebrated their anniversary. They moved to Gurugram shortly after their wedding in search of a better future. Parvati worked as an executive at a call center in DLF Phase 3. Rao recounted the harrowing experience, "I requested her to come down. When trying to do that, she slipped and fell". He also told PTI that her death had shattered him.
