18-year-old boy from Delhi killed after an air conditioning unit fell on him

In August, an 18-year-old man was killed and his friend was injured when an outdoor unit of an air conditioner fell on them from the second floor of a building in central Delhi. In the CCTV footage that surfaced online, Jitesh can be seen sitting on a scooter near Doriwalan and talking to his friend Pranshu.

Suddenly, an air conditioner fell on them, injuring both people. They were quickly rushed to the hospital where, upon arrival, doctors declared Jitesh dead and Pranshu was admitted for treatment.
