Paradip: A woman tragically lost her life after allegedly falling from the terrace of a four-storey building at Tarinigada in Odisha’s Paradip.
Her body without any clothes was found early Monday morning.
According to sources, the clothes were found hanging on a gas pipeline along the exterior wall midway down the building, which is under construction, adding to the mystery surrounding the fall, which is believed to have occurred late Sunday night or in the early hours of Monday. Neither the owner of the building nor anyone in the neighbourhood has been able to identify the deceased.
