Hyderabad: Nacharam police refuted claims circulating on social media that a 14-year-old boy who died after falling from a building in Nacharam was attempting to film reels, clarifying that the incident was accidental.
The deceased, a Class 9 student at a government school, hailed from Bihar. He had lost his parents and was being raised by his uncle in a basti near Gandhi statue in Mallapur, Nacharam.
According to officials, the teen had gone to a friend’s house on the day of the incident. He went up to the penthouse area above the third floor when he accidentally slipped and fell, sustaining severe injuries. He was rushed to a hospital but succumbed during treatment.
An official told Deccan Chronicle that preliminary inquiry and statements from the friend present at the spot confirmed that it was an accidental fall. “There is no evidence to suggest that the boy was filming reels or performing any stunt,” the officer said.
Police urged the public to refrain from spreading unverified information, especially in sensitive cases involving minors. Further inquiry is underway to rule out any other angles.
