Woman killed after falling off ride at Delhi amusement park

The incident took place at the Fun N Food Water and Amusement Park, part of which was sealed following Thursday’s tragedy.

Police officers said they were still establishing if over-the-shoulder restraints or the two seatbelts that are usually strapped onto people came loose. The woman was identified as Priyanka Rawat, who was visiting the amusement park with her fiance, Nikhil Singh, 26.

Investigators suspect a mechanical fault in the ride may have caused the fall. “We have registered a case and are probing it to ascertain the circumstances under which the accident happened. Prima facie, it appears that there were some mechanical faults in the safety belts that may have malfunctioned. The exact reason will be known after the mechanical inspection and investigation,” said deputy commissioner of police (southwest) Surendra Choudhary.
