The girl was caught talking to her boyfriend by her parents and, out of fear of some kind of admonition from them, she decided to flee from her home with a bag full of clothes, an official said.

”She knotted several sarees into a rope, tied one end of it to the air-conditioner and tried to climb down through a window. However, she lost her grip during the descent and fell on to the ground. People from the housing complex rushed her to civic-run Cooper Hospital,” he said.

The official said the teen has suffered a serious back injury and further investigation into the incident will start after she is medically fit to give a statement on the chain of events.
