Ghaziabad: Their wish to see the moon cost these twin brothers their life. Satya and Surya Narayan, 13, died after falling off their flat in a housing society in Ghaziabad’s Vijay Nagar.
A small stool was found on top of a plastic chair near the railing. The twins had repeatedly said they wanted to see the moon, their mother said.
The accident is believed to have taken place at 1 am on Sunday. Satya and Surya Narayan Mudalia had gone to the balcony of their flat in Prateek Gardenia Carnesia after dinner, Times of India (TOI) reported.
At 11.30 pm on Saturday, their mother, Radha, saw them playing with phones given to them for online classes and asked them to come with her to the other room and sleep.
The twins obliged. But no sooner had Radha dozed off, Satya and Surya sneaked out of the room and went to the balcony ag in, the family told the police.
Around 1 am, Radha woke up and found the twins missing. She went to their study room and found the balcony door open . She peered over the railing and saw a crowd on the road below. Radha rushed downstairs and saw Surya and Satya lying just metres apart, blood oozing out of their heads. They were rushed to a nearby hospital but were declared dead on arrival.
The brothers stayed with their mother and elder sister Gayatri. Their father, Palani Mudalia, is a senior executive in a private financial firm and had been working out of Mumbai for the past couple of weeks.
The family, originally from Chennai, had shifted to Ghaziabad two years ago. Radha told TOI that her husband had called her around 11 pm and asked about the children.
A guard who was on duty at night said he heard two loud thuds 15-20 seconds apart. “There were two boys lying face down. There was blood all around. I informed my supervisor,” he added.
