Panaji: The five people fell off the cliff when the gate of the railing on which they were leaning opened, says police. Out of five injured, two women are said to be in a critical condition.
Goa police have asked a sub-division magistrate to record the statement of two of the women who where seriously injured in the accident and have been admitted in a private hospital. The incident occurred near the hillside cottages where the tourists were staying.
“Two women fell on their back on a stone and are currently admitted in a private hospital. The doctors have said that they might be paralysed for life,” police inspector Paresh Naik said. The three others were discharged after primary treatment, he said.
“The family members of the two women have refused to file any formal police complaint, but we have requested sub- divisional magistrate to record their statements,” Naik said.
