Labourer slips on staircase, dies

Noida: A 26-year-old labourer died after slipping on the staircase of a five-storey building on Tuesday afternoon. Although it is unclear how he slipped, prima facie, police think it was an accident.
The deceased Sanjay Das is from Bhangel in Bihar and shared a room in the building with four other labourers, including two of his nephews. The accident happened around 4:30 pm, when he was climbing the stairs alone to reach their room on the fifth floor.
“We were having lunch. A neighbour told us that Sanjay had fallen off the staircase. When we rushed to the staircase, we saw him lying on the second floor, bleeding from his head, nose and eye. We took him to Yatharth hospital in Sector 110 but he was referred to another hospital,” he said.
They rushed him to the district hospital in Sector 30 where he was declared brought dead.
ACP Arun Kumar Singh told TOI that prima facie, the incident seems to be an accident. “The family did not want to get a post mortem done but the post mortem was conducted. The report will be checked soon,” he said.
He is survived by his wife, four daughters, and a son who stay in Saharsa, Bihar.
