Police reported that a 27-year-old woman, Lipi Rastogi, the daughter of senior bureaucrats Radhika and Vikas Rastogi from the Maharashtra cadre IAS, died after jumping from a high-rise in Mumbai early Monday morning.
Lipi, who was a law student, was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to her injuries during treatment.
Authorities stated that the incident occurred around 4 am when Lipi jumped from the 10th floor of a building near the state secretariat.
A note was discovered in her room.
