Noida news: A five-year-old boy died allegedly after he fell off the balcony of an eighth-floor apartment in a high-rise group housing society in Noida today (June 16), police said. The parents of the child were asleep when the incident took place at around 5:45 am at the Hyde Park society in Sector 78 under Sector 113 police station limits, they said.
"The family members told the police that sometimes the child would wake up earlier than others and roam around in the house. Today, the child went to the balcony where some planters are kept and above that is the balcony grill where from he fell down," a police spokesperson said.
