Incident Details

A 23-year-old‌ guest died after falling from a third-floor window at‌ a hotel in India. The man was chasing a dog he found in a hotel hallway when the dog went straight ahead and threw himself into an open window.

At around 12:30⁤ a.m. local time on the 21st at⁤ the VV Pride Hotel in the Hyderabad district ​of Telangana state in south-central India, a⁣ guest,‍ Uday Kumar (23), died after falling from a third-floor window.

Uday was in Telangana state on⁤ a trip with his family and was⁤ staying in Ashok Nagar, but he⁤ had booked the VV Pride Hotel separately from ⁤his family to celebrate a friend’s birthday. That day,⁣ Uday saw the dog in the third-floor hallway of the hotel and approached ​it.

However, the dog‌ became alarmed and started running, trying ⁣to escape from Mr. Uday. Uday ran after ‌the dog, but it ran so fast that he could not stop at the end of the hallway and ​fell out of the⁤ open window.

The incident was recorded on the hotel’s surveillance camera, which showed Uday’s friend peering out ⁢the window and rushing downstairs to get ⁤help. Friends rushed Uday to the hospital, but unfortunately he was pronounced dead ⁣at⁤ the scene.

Police subsequently launched an investigation and Uday’s body was taken to Gandhi Hospital for post-mortem. It is currently unclear why the dog was on the third floor of the ⁣hotel, and‌ police are examining security‌ camera footage from⁣ around the hotel.

A similar accident to Uday’s accident due to ‍carelessness⁤ occurred on the 13th of this month in Washington state. A‍ 4-year-old girl⁣ who was jumping on the bed in a fifth-floor apartment lost her balance and fell from an open window, ​where⁣ she was taken to a hospital where she died.
