Please take care of my parents and sister.”

Pujari said the engineer claimed he had some work in the housing complex and gained entry around 3.30pm. “While entering his details at the security gate, the engineer told the guard to give him a key to the building’s terrace, claiming he had some work there,” Pujari said.
When the guard did not give him a key, he went to the topmost residential floor of a building. “He placed his backpack and cellphone on the floor and jumped,” Pujari said, adding, “The guards witnessed this and rushed him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.”
The police have yet to record the friends’ statements and said they will complete this in a day or two.
