A groundbreaking police experiment in Patna seeks to crack the enigma of a young student’s deadly drop from a coaching rooftop. The February 12 tragedy at Fulwari Sharif’s seventh-floor perch claimed a 16-year-old’s life, igniting speculation over suicide versus homicide.
Leading the charge, City SP West Bhanu Pratap Singh supervised Tuesday’s scene recreation, featuring four custom dummies mirroring the girl’s mass. “FSL-guided drops from diverse vantage points will clarify trauma origins,” he affirmed.
Why the elaborate setup? Autopsy dismissed assault claims, but the fall’s mechanics begged scrutiny. Grainy CCTV depicted her stair climb to the roof, leading to four detentions among apartment workers—no confessions emerged.
Comprising 11 detectives, the SIT leverages this forensic tool to parse possibilities: propelled fall, accidental tumble, or deliberate act. SP Singh underscored its precision in mapping injury vectors for evidentiary weight.
As specialists pore over footage and debris patterns, pivotal insights loom. This methodical pursuit exemplifies modern policing’s blend of tech and tenacity, vowing resolution. Beyond the probe, it calls for stringent oversight of high-rise educational spaces safeguarding impressionable minds.
