MUMBAI: A day after a 27-year-old woman died after falling from the 11th floor of her Powai office, police investigations revealed that the emergency window from which she fell had been improperly latched.

The incident occurred on January 9 at Supreme Business Park, where Jinal Vora, an employee of New York-based insurance firm Marsh and McLennan, lost her balance while drinking coffee near the window. Vora fell to the garden area on the 10th floor, suffering critical head injuries.
