Police were alerted through a PCR call received at Hauz Qazi Police Station. The deceased was identified as Sunita (21), while the injured woman is Tripti (19).

The incident occurred around 8.30 pm when the two friends were on their usual evening walk on the terrace of their adjoining houses, a routine they had followed for years. Sunita reportedly lost her balance and, in an attempt to steady herself, grabbed Tripti, causing both to fall.
