Residents protest in Greater Noida demanding justice after grandmother and toddler killed by falling tin sheet.
Greater Noida Rain News: A tragic accident in Greater Noida on Wednesday evening claimed the lives of a woman and her young grandson after a large tin sheet, dislodged by strong winds and sudden rain, fell from the rooftop of a 21-storey building.
Sunita, 50, and her two-year-old grandson Advik were returning from the society park at Migsun Ultimo’s Sun-4 tower at around 8.45 pm. They were just steps away from the safety of their building lobby when the heavy sheet came crashing down from the terrace.
Sunita died on the spot. Advik, who might have been shielded by his grandmother, was rushed to the hospital while still breathing but succumbed to his injuries later that night.
Questions Raised Over Building Safety And Maintenance Failures
The incident has cast a harsh spotlight on the safety standards and maintenance practices at the society. Residents allege gross negligence on the part of the builder, accusing them of failing to secure the rooftop properly, particularly during severe weather conditions. Many believe the tragedy could have been prevented had adequate safety measures been enforced.

Residents Protest, Demand Action Against Builder
Following the tragedy, residents of Migsun Ultimo blocked the roads on Thursday in protest, demanding the builder’s arrest. Videos shared widely on the social media platform X show demonstrators blocking roads and demanding immediate action against the builder.
Protesters highlighted persistent issues related to poor construction quality and lax safety protocols, claiming that incidents involving falling debris and general maintenance lapses had become alarmingly common within the society. They called for accountability and stricter enforcement of building regulations to prevent such incidents in the future.
Some residents, especially women, also raised serious allegations against the police and builder representatives, accusing them of confiscating mobile phones during the protest and instances of pushing and manhandling.
Speaking to News18.com, a resident Vivek, said, “Nothing feels right at Migsun Ultimo. A toddler lost his life because of sheer negligence by the builder and maintenance team. Yet, no senior officials have come forward. Perhaps they’re too busy managing VIP movements. It feels like the lives of common people matter less than clearing roads for VIPs.”
Another resident, Anil, alleged, “We were protesting peacefully, but the builder’s goons and police assaulted us, including women. They even snatched our phones to erase any evidence. Despite paying crores in maintenance, this is the treatment we get.”
Responding to these allegations, the DCP Central said, “Residents of Migsun Ultimo society under Surajpur police station limits were protesting against the builder and were persuaded to disperse peacefully. There was no inappropriate behaviour by the police. A written complaint has been received and necessary legal action will follow after investigation.”
“On the night of 21 May, we received information via Dial 112 that a woman had died after a railing fell during a storm. Upon investigation, it was found that a heavy iron sheet fell from an upper floor, killing 50-year-old Sunita and injuring her two-year-old grandson, who later died in hospital. Legal proceedings are underway, and there are no law and order issues at the site,” the DCP added.
