The family lives on the 51st floor of the building; however, it is not clear from which floor the boy jumped, the report said, citing Kandivali police. A case of accidental death has been filed.
The boy was a school student living with his mother, an actress, at the high-rise on 90 Feet Road. At around 6 pm on Wednesday, his mother asked him to go for tuition. The boy denied and went down to play. Sometime later, the residents of the building heard a loud noise and found the boy severely injured, the report said.
The police believed that the boy fell from a considerable height and his brain was smashed as a result. The boy's mother was searching for him when she was informed about the incident. The body has now been sent for an autopsy.
A separate incident was reported from Rajasthan on Wednesday, where Four family members, including a woman, allegedly died by suicide after jumping into a water tank in Barmer district of Rajasthan, PTI reported, citing police.
The incident took place in Undu village, where Shivlal (35), his wife Kavita (32), and their two sons, aged 8 and 6, were found dead in a tank outside their residence.
Based on the initial investigation, Shivlal reportedly jumped into the tank with his family after locking the house.
Sheo DSP Manaram Garg told PTI, "The bodies were found in the tank on Tuesday evening. The in-laws were informed, and the retrieval was done on Wednesday morning in their presence as they could not arrive at night."
The bodies were sent to the mortuary at Bhiyad CHC for post-mortem examinations.
Gopilal, Kavita's uncle, told PTI, "Shivlal wanted to build a separate house with funds sanctioned under PM Awas Yojana. But his brother and mother did not allow it. This constant harassment forced him to write a suicide note on June 29."
