Meanwhile, a vegetable vendor arrived at the street. Seeing him, the two women decided to go out and buy vegetables. Geetha, however, did not take Akash along, preferring to leave him unattended on the terrace for some inexplicable reason. <br /><br />As Geetha went out, Akash began crawling his way to the parapet to see his mother. In moments, he reached the parapet which had gaps in between. Akash inched closer and slipped out of the gap in the parapet well. <br /><br />Geetha was stunned to see her child fall on the ground and bleeding.
