Two sisters fall to death from fourth floor in Ggm; family alleges foul play

CHANDIGARH: Two sisters in their early 20s died after falling from the fourth floor of a local businessman’s house at Sector 40 in Gurugram, police said on Sunday.

While the house owner’s family claimed they fell from the balcony on Friday in a desperate bid to escape after a “theft attempt”, the deceased family has alleged foul play behind the deaths though no formal complaint of murder has been lodged yet, police said.

The deceased have been identified as Chandni (23) and Rashmi (21), who hailed from Uttar Pradesh, they said.

Chandni, who used to work at the businessman’s residence as a domestic help, left the job around a month back, police said.

The deceased sisters lived in the building’s servant quarters. The house owner, who had been heading to Rajasthan’s Khatu Shyam temple, returned after forgetting his medicines. Upon reaching home, they found the door open and heard a loud thud. Rushing to the balcony, they saw the sisters lying in a pool of blood. Both were declared dead at a hospital. The family suspects the women broke in, as Chandni knew the electronic lock code.
