Noida: An 18-year-old girl fell to her death under mysterious circumstances from the 16th floor of a tower in a high-rise society in Indirapuram on Tuesday. While police suspect it to be a case of suicide, the girl’s family alleged that she was murdered after being sexually assaulted.According to police, the girl’s father is a laundry worker who also cleans vehicles at the society. He has been working there for around 10 years and the girl used to help her father there.ACP (Indirapuram) Abhishek Srivastava said that residents called emergency helpline number 112 to report that a girl had fallen from the tower around 6am. A police team reached the spot and found her body, which was later sent for an autopsy and reports are awaited.CCTV footage shows that the girl and her father reached the society around 5.50am. The girl allegedly told her father she was going to the society’s park while he went down to the basement to clean the vehicles. She was then spotted on camera a few minutes later getting in the lift alone and going up to the 16th floor.“In the CCTV footage, the girl was seen going into the lift at 5.53am alone, and she reached the 16th floor at 5.55am. Another CCTV clip shows she fell from the 16th floor at 5.56am. According to the footage, no one was seen around her, and she was seen in the lobby of the tower alone,” ACP said,.Her father told cops that he was cleaning a car when someone told him that a girl had fallen from the 16th floor. When he went to see what happened, he found his daughter lying in a pool of blood. He claims that when he found her body, her clothes were torn suspiciously, leading him to suspect she was assaulted.“I suspect she was sexually assaulted by an unknown person and later she was thrown from the 16th floor so that no one would find out what had happened. The police are trying to say this is a suicide, but she doesn’t have any reason to do so. She was happy, and after coming to the society, she always used to go to the park first and later start the work. My daughter recently wrote the Class 12 exam, and she was waiting for her results. She was preparing for a govt job,” he said.The teenager’s family has filed a police complaint in the matter, but as of Tuesday evening no FIR has been registered in the case yet.
