Mumbai: A woman who reportedly fell from the 10th floor of a building in Bhandup on Wednesday was miraculously saved after getting caught in the branches of a large tree.
According to reports, the woman fell from a Sunshine SRA building. The tree beneath the building reportedly broke her fall, preventing her from hitting the ground directly and potentially saving her life.

Similar incident in Bandra
Meanwhile, in a separate incident, an air-conditioner technician died after falling from the 11th floor of a 29-storeyed building at the Ten BKC complex in Bandra-Kalanagar.
The incident occurred on August 23 at around 12:30 pm, when 27-year-old Ziyadul Shamshujuha Huda was reportedly installing an outdoor AC unit outside a window.
The Kherwadi Police detained supervisor Indrajit Chauhan, 30, and AC contractor Tashvar Ali Ibbarat Ali Mansuri, 28, over alleged negligence.
Police probe alleged negligence
Police said the two claimed that Huda had been provided with a safety harness. However, it remained unclear whether he had properly fastened it or whether Chauhan and Mansuri had checked the safety equipment before assigning him the task. Huda was reportedly wearing a safety belt but was not wearing a helmet.
According to Atikur Rehman Mohammad Sagir Mansuri, 21, who was assisting Huda, the technician lost his balance and fell from the building. A pedestrian later alerted a patrolling police vehicle about the incident.
