The Aarey police have clarified that the death of a 17-year-old daughter of a city-based real estate developer, initially suspected to be a suicide on August 14 evening, was in fact an accident. Investigations revealed that the teenager was attempting to note down her computer password for her mother on a wall outside the window of their 23rd-floor flat.

The girl was leaving the country for further studies and, hence, was instructed by her mother to make a note of the passwords. Police found an incomplete password written in pencil on the vertical wall beside the window. It appeared that the girl had leaned out of the window to write downwards, and while bending too far, lost her balance and fell.

According to police sources, the girl was the only child and lived with her parents and grandparents in one of the wings of Oberoi Square. Her father is a builder. She was studying in Std XI, and had secured admission to a college in London for higher studies. Arrangements for her stay had already been made, and she was scheduled to leave in the next 10 to 15 days.
