The police registered a case of accidental death as they suspect he might have fallen from the sixth floor flat while he was putting clothes to dry outside the window.

Krishan Mukhukia had been working at businessman Radhesham Keria’s residence for the past five months.

“We received a call from the other domestic helps in the building,” said Kamlesh Mukhukia, a relative of the deceased.

“We have sent the body for a post-mortem at JJ Hospital. We do not suspect any foul play,” said Assistant Police Inspector Vishwas Kashyap of the Malabar Hill police station.
