KOLKATA: A 27-year-old man — allegedly in an inebriated condition — had a close shave as he survived with minor injuries despite falling from the rooftop of a four-storey building at Dover Terrace near Gariahat, where he lived. He is from Odisha.
Locals were shocked to find the man trying to get up after the fall. He was rushed to SSKM Hospital and discharged after necessary treatment.
“The victim had multiple injuries but they were all mild. It seems something broke his fall. It is still not clear what exactly transpired. He was trying to sit on the terrace parapet after consuming alcohol that led to his fall. Moments earlier, he had had an argument with his wife over job in Kolkata and return to Odisha. He lives here with his wife and in-laws,” said an officer.
