A six-year-old boy fell from the terrace of a four-storey building in Dombivli West, while he was playing on Wednesday afternoon, and died. Though he was immediately rushed to the nearest hospital, he succumbed to his injuries during treatment. The Vishnu Nagar police have registered an accidental death report in the matter and are further investigating the case.


According to the police, the deceased has been identified as Rishikesh Vijay Kale, 6, who resided in flat number 404 of Shree Dynprasad building in Thakur wadi, Dombivli West. Kale was a Std I student. While his mother is a housewife, his father works in a private firm.
