A 20-year-old bakery worker, Muhammad Shoaib, lost his life after a misfortunate fall from the fourth-floor rooftop of his girlfriend's residence during late hours of the night in Hyderabad Deccan, India.
According to the media reports, Shoaib, known for his affiliation with a local bakery, had been nurturing a romantic relationship with a young woman for some time.
In a gesture of affection, he embarked on a clandestine mission to deliver a pizza to his girlfriend.
Hyderabad police said the incident took a tragic turn when, upon reaching the rooftop of his girlfriend's abode, Shoaib misinterpreted approaching footsteps as those of the girl's father.
Overcome by panic, he sought refuge in a corner of the rooftop, leading to an unfortunate slip that resulted in his devastating fall from the height of the fourth floor, the police said.
The grieving father of Muhammad Shoaib has since lodged a formal complaint, suggesting suspicions of potential foul play in his son's tragic end. In response, local authorities have initiated a thorough investigation into the incident to ascertain the exact circumstances that led to Shoaib's fatal fall.
