A rape and murder complaint was filed on Wednesday against the flat owner and his companion, after the unexplained death of a 22-year-old NEET candidate who allegedly fell from the ninth story of an apartment in the Sushant Golf City region on January 22. The people named in the case are Sameer, the landlord, and his buddy Shubham Rai, who was also the girl’s acquaintance.

ADCP Singh went on to say that the two accused admitted during questioning that the girl had fallen unexpectedly at approximately 11 p.m. as she was chatting on the phone on the balcony at the rear of the apartment. “After she collapsed, her buddy Shubham scooped her up and brought her to a private hospital, where it was determined that she had passed away. On Sunday night, around 1:30 a.m., Shubham reported the incident to the Sushant Golf City police station, according to the officer.
