A 30-year-old Nigerian woman allegedly jumping from the third floor of a house in Mehrauli early on Wednesday. The woman was rushed to the hospital where she is undergoing treatment.

The woman, who has been identified as Cope (30), allegedly forcibly entered Choice Apartments in Mehrauli at 3:45 a.m. after pushing aside Pramod, the guard of the gated apartment. Intoxicated, she went to the third floor of the building and jumped from there, said Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Chinmoy Biswal.

Not aresident

According to the police, the woman was not a resident of the said apartment but that of Chhatarpur Enclave. The police said that the entire incident was caught on camera. “CCTV installed in the building has footage of the woman entering and falling. We have recovered the footage for further investigation,” said Mr. Biswal.

Cope was rushed to AIIMS Trauma Centre where she is being treated. The police said she has suffered a leg injury and was operated upon, due to which she was unfit to reveal details of the incident.

“Statements of eyewitnesses, including one Divyanshu and guard Pramod, have been recorded. We are trying to establish the reason for the extreme step,” said Mr. Biswal, adding that no case has been registered so far as the matter is under inquiry.
