A Commercial Sex Worker Falls To Death After Sex Escapade

Julie was forced to descend from the 3rd floor

A woman died while trying to flee from the third floor balcony of a building using a makeshift rope of bedsheets and a sari tied together. Police identified the woman as Julie, a prostitute.

The incident occurred at Mumbay in India, inside the Central Railway Staff Colony in the early hours on Friday. The Railway engineer Surendra Chavan (54), who was later arrested and charged with causing death due to negligence, had brought Julie a prostitute to his flat after his wife and five-year-old daughter left the their to attend a family function on Thursday.

Chavan, who is a senior section engineer and also a yoga instructor panicked after his wife and daughter returned unexpectedly and knocked on the apartment door around 11pm. Police said he didn't open the door and instead bolted it from inside. His wife, assuming no one was at home, locked the flat from outside and went to a relatives house in the neighbourhood.

Having waiting for some time, Chavan tried to open the front door but got scared when he realized that his wife had put a padlock on the door and worried how he would get out of his predicament, somewhere around 2.15am, Chavan then decided to climb down from the balcony using bedsheets and a sari. After getting down, he ran up to the third floor to see the door locked. He again came down and asked Julie to climb down the same way he had. Unfortunately, but Julie who lost her grip felt from the 3rd floor of the building. She sustained serious multiple fractures and according to the police investigators, Julie died soon after.

Chavan, who also suffered bruises during the escapade, then called the security guard and asked him to help lift the body and dump it outside the building gate. But very unfortunately Chavan's wallet, which had fallen near the body while he was fleeing betrayed him and was arrested by the Police.
