A two-year-old Pakistani boy died in Sharjah after allegedly being thrown from a third-floor staircase window in a shocking incident involving two young girls who lived in the same building, Gulf News reported.
CCTV footage reviewed by Gulf News showed the girls, believed to be around 10 years old, playing with the toddler in the corridor outside the family’s apartment shortly before the child fell from an opening near a staircase window to the ground below.
The footage showed one of the two girls opening the staircase door and calling the toddler while the second girl was inside the staircase area. The child then moved towards the area, after which the first girl closed the door immediately. She was seen placing her hand over her ear before running away quickly. Moments later, the other girl emerged from the area, shook her hands, and walked away calmly.
Sharjah Police said the case has been referred to child protection authorities for investigation and questioning.
Authorities said the exact motive behind the incident remains unclear, while investigations continue to determine the full circumstances surrounding the child’s death.
