In a video shared on Facebook by netizen Nela M Hock, the child appears to be no more than five years old. As onlookers gathered at the grass patch on the ground floor, the child stood motionless on the ledge. According to the Facebook post, the onlookers went to the unit and knocked on the door but there was no reply. A few individuals in the video were seen holding a white sheet at the beneath where the child stood.
