Rajkot: While trying to catch signal on his cellphone from the terrace of his eighth floor building on Kotharia Road in Rajkot, a man slipped and fell to his death on Wednesday night.
The incident occurred at Swati Heights Apartments. The deceased was identified as Sagar Gandhi (30), a teacher in a private school on Bhavnagar Road near Kalipatgam in Rajkot.
