Mystery shrouded the death of a 14-year-old girl, who died when she fell off the terrace of a four-storey apartment building in the city on Sunday.

As per reports, the Class VIII student of a private school was seen on the terrace of Gitanjali Apartment in BJB Nagar area between 4.30 pm and 5 pm. Later she fell off from the apartment building.

The Badagada police have registered an unnatural death case and began investigation. It is not clear whether someone else was present at the apartment’s terrace apart from the girl.  Police have also found the word ‘Perfect’ written with a pen on the forehead of the deceased.

However, a message that she posted on her Instagram handle few hours before her death indicates that she might have committed suicide by jumping off the building’s terrace.

The Instagram status reads: ‘Bye Bye People’. Later, after being asked by one of her friends about where she was going, she replied ‘Hell. May be, Heaven.”

A police official said the body of the deceased has been handed over to her family after postmortem.
