The officer said that the family resides in a flat on the second floor of the building, whereas the boy allegedly jumped from the 22nd floor. “The family could not confirm if the boy was under any pressure of studies or exam results or what prompted him to take the extreme step. The family has wished for no further investigation in the case,” the officer said.
