Woman dies after jumping from seventh floor of PG in Whitefield; man sustains multiple injuries

On Sunday, a 23-year-old woman named Janani Perumal died after jumping from the seventh floor of a paying guest accommodation in Whitefield, India. She was a software engineer working at a private company in Pattandur Agrahara and had recently moved to Whitefield from Puducherry. The incident occurred at Radha Krishna Co-Live PG on ECC Road.

A 30-year-old man, Manichavelu, who is employed with a logistics company in Puducherry and lives in Nallathur in the Union Territory, was present on the scene. He managed to survive the fall but sustained multiple injuries and was rushed to the hospital. According to the Whitefield police, the two individuals went to the seventh floor of the PG and allegedly jumped from the building.

Janani was pronounced dead on the spot, while Manichavelu's injuries are being assessed, and he is believed to have suffered multiple fractures.

The police are investigating the circumstances that led to the tragic incident and are trying to determine whether the duo were known to each other or had a relationship. They are also verifying the background of both individuals. The exact reasons behind their decision to take such an extreme step are yet to be established.
