After argument over cake, woman jumps from 10th floor on birthday; dies

Noida: A 23-year-old woman died after allegedly jumping from the balcony of a 10th-floor flat in Jaypee Kosmos society in Sector 134 following an argument over her birthday cake on Tuesday.
The woman was preparing to take admission in a master’s course for hotel management, police said. Her elder sister and brother-in-law stay in the flat where the incident took place, while the woman, her parents and brother stay in a flat in another tower of the same society. They all arrived at the elder sister’s flat around 2pm for celebrating the woman’s birthday on Tuesday.
“Since it was the woman’s birthday, her sister had asked her to come to her flat and celebrate it with them. All the family members gathered at the sister’s flat, but the celebrations ended when they had an argument over cutting of the cake,” a police officer from the Expressway police station told TOI.
The woman had received a cake from someone, which led to an argument. In a fit of rage, the woman allegedly stormed out to the balcony and jumped while the family was inside the flat. Her body was found on the ground by some residents. She was rushed to hospital, where she died soon after.
“We received information from Jaypee Hospital in Sector 128 that the woman jumped out of the 10th-floor balcony in a fit of rage,” additional DCP (Noida) Ranvijay Singh said.
