In the quaint town of Rajkot, a bizarre series of events has resulted in the death of an elderly couple in their own home in a freak accident.
Manjula Vithlani, 68, weighing 128kgs, tried to rush up the stairs to her son Ashish who was sick at the time when her daughter in law came down to get medicines.
Her husband followed her. But what happened is, in the hurry to get to her son, the lady slipped and ended up falling on her husband and essentially crushing him. The daughter in law was hurt too while trying to lend some support to the two. This is what the police said.
“At around 4am, Nisha came downstairs to get some medicine for Ashish. Her in-laws also woke up and hurriedly tried to go upstairs to check his health. However, Manjula could not keep her balance and slipped. She fell on Natvarlal who was climbing behind her. They were rushed to a private hospital where both died of cerebral hemorrhage.”
