New Delhi: A shocking video has surfaced from Delhi, showing a girl being thrown from a roof during a heated argument with a builder. The footage, which has since gone viral, shows the girl in a dispute with the builder.
As the argument heats up, the girl is slapped and she falls from a height of nearly six feet.
The incident, which occurred on July 25 in Delhi's Kirari area, has prompted immediate action from the police. Authorities have filed a case against the accused builder at the Aman Vihar police station. Reports indicate that the argument between the girl and the builder was related to a property dispute.
The builder is still on the run and officials said that multiple teams have been formed to find and arrest him.

The data painted a grim picture of women's safety in India, with over 50 cases being registered every hour.
