An 18-year-old boy died when an air conditioner fell directly on his head on the second floor of a building in Delhi’s Karol Bagh district, officials said on Sunday.

The incident took place on Saturday, August 17, at around 7 pm, when the teenager, identified as Jitesh Chadha, was sitting on a stationary scooter and chatting with his friend when the outdoor unit of the air conditioner fell from above and hit both the boys.

The victim’s friend Pranshu, who was standing next to him, was also hit by the air conditioner and fell to the ground.

The incident was captured on CCTV footage, where two boys could be seen chatting near the entrance to the building. One boy was sitting on a scooter while the other stood next to him and chatted.

While they were talking, an air conditioner suddenly fell from the second floor of the building and hit the boy on the scooter directly in the head before crashing to the ground. The impact was so violent that both boys collapsed instantly.

Both boys were taken to a nearby hospital, where doctors pronounced the 18-year-old dead. His 17-year-old friend is currently being treated for his injuries and is said to be in critical condition, officials said.

The local police station on DBG Road has registered the case and a forensic team has been dispatched to the accident spot to investigate the cause of AC’s accident. Further investigation is underway in the matter.
