New Delhi, January 4: A senior executive of Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL) died after falling from the 17th floor of a residential tower in Noida on Saturday morning, police said. The incident occurred at ATS One Hamlet society in Sector 104 around 10.20 am.

According to officials, the deceased has been identified as Ajay Garg, an executive director at IOCL. Preliminary investigation suggests Garg was on a phone call shortly before the incident and may have stepped onto the balcony due to weak mobile network connectivity inside the flat. Reel Gone Wrong in UP: 50-Year-Old Man Falls to Death While Dancing on E-Rickshaw in Ghazipur, Video Goes Viral.
