Gurugram, April 13 (IANS) An 80-year-old retired pilot died after he lost his balance and fell from the fourth floor of a residential apartment while reportedly trying to fix a wind chime, the police said on Wednesday.
The deceased, Sarabjit Singh Brar, was a resident of Laburnum Apartments at DLF Phase 1 in Gurugram.
At the time of the incident that occured on Wednesday morning, Brar was at his flat along with his wife.
The police said that the victim was trying to fix a wind chime in the balcony when he lost balance and fell, leading to his death.
Soon after the incident, his wife raised an alarm after which the security guards and other residents of the apartment complex rushed him to a hospital, where Brar succumbed to his injuries.
"The deceased's body has been handed over to his family after autopsy," said a police officer.
A few lawmakers requested the Speaker to complete the proceedings before 12 noon, while others called for a "purification ritual" fearing the building was haunted.
A special exception was made for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's children -- Xavier, Ella-Grace and Hadrien -- to be at the ceremonial reception at the Rashtrapati Bhawan here today, senior officials said.
The traditional garb that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family have adopted in India has raised eyebrows around the world, but travel experts say that shouldn't dissuade Westerners from trying to honour local norms when they head overseas.
