Mumbai: A three-year-old girl walking with her mother died on Tuesday afternoon after a golden retriever fell on her from the fifth floor of a building they were passing. The incident occurred in the Amrit Nagar area of Mumbra, 30 kilometers from Mumbai, in Thane district, and was captured on CCTV.

As the dog fell, the girl collapsed on the road, prompting her mother to rush her to a nearby hospital in Kalwa. She was later transferred to Kalsekar Hospital for a CT scan but was declared dead.

The dog, after the fall from the Chirag Mansion building, was seen lying still on the road. It eventually managed to stand but sustained serious injuries and was taken to an animal hospital after being rescued.

The circumstances surrounding the dog's fall from the 5th floor, which led to the tragic death of a 3-year-old girl in Mumbra, remain unclear. Authorities are investigating to determine if the dog was intentionally pushed or thrown, or if it accidentally slipped and fell.

 The Mumbra police have filed an accidental death report and are working to ascertain the exact events leading up to the incident. The deceased girl was the only child of her parents, born after a decade of marriage, making the loss even more devastating for the family.
