Moodbidri, Jun 5: A youth tragically lost his life after falling from the fourth floor of a building while putting up roofing sheets at Kadepalla here on Thursday, June 4.

The deceased has been identified as Shaurya Acharya, son of Santosh Acharya, a resident of Pademane in Marpadi village. Shaurya was a second pre-university (PU) student who had taken up work as a labourer during his college holidays.

The incident took place at the 'Royal Paradise' building located in Gandhinagar, Kadepalla. Shaurya was working on the fourth floor to install roofing sheets when he reportedly lost his balance and fell. Though he was immediately rushed to a hospital, he succumbed to his injuries as the treatment proved ineffective.

It has been alleged that the tragic death occurred due to negligence, as the building contractor, Praveen, and the owner, Nort Shaba Rego, failed to provide proper safety equipment to the workers.

A case has been registered at the Moodbidri police station in this regard, and further investigation is underway.
