A 77-year-old woman, Kumuda Shetty, died after falling from the 21st floor of the Savanna residential tower in Thane on August 5, 2026. Police and emergency teams responded promptly, registering an accidental death report and initiating an investigation. While one report suggests she lost balance on the balcony, another notes she removed her mangalsutra before the fall. The body was sent for post-mortem, and authorities are gathering statements to determine the exact circumstances.
