A woman died after falling from the eighth floor of a residential building in Talegaon MIDC area in Pune in what, prima facie, seems to be a case of suicide, a police official said on Sunday.

The incident took place between 1pm and 1.30pm on Saturday at a housing society near Katvi, he said.

A video of the incident, which has gone viral on social media, showed the 34-year-old woman hanging precariously from the balcony grill before losing her grip and plunging to the ground.

“Prima facie, it appears to be a case of suicide. Pratibha Manish Shankar fell from the eighth floor of the building and was rushed to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared her dead. The viral video is being examined as part of the probe," Talegaon MIDC police station senior inspector Santosh Patil said.
