A 2-year-old girl, Payal, had died after falling from the second floor of a house in Indore’s Azad Nagar area on April 5.

She had reportedly lost balance while trying to look over a low balcony railing while playing alone, after her mother went to the bathroom.

Locals had rushed her to MY Hospital, where she died during treatment later that night.

The family had recently shifted to Indore just eight days earlier from a village near Satwas after her father got a job in a private company.

Payal had turned two years old on March 5. Her elder siblings, a 9-year-old sister and a 5-year-old brother, were staying in their village with their grandparents. Police were investigating the incident.
