One comment in Hindi read: "Hamare makan malik ka ladka bhi aise hi karta hai… bachche nahi samajhte, har baar maa-baap ko dosh nahi de sakte (Our landlord's child also behaves in a similar way. Children do not always understand, and you cannot blame them every time)."

Another harsh comment said: "Even Superman can’t save moronic kids."

Others were more concerned, warning about possible head trauma and saying the incident "could've been worse".

The incident is being widely described as a serious warning for families. Experts say staircases, railings and balconies must always be secured, especially when young children are around. Even a few seconds without supervision can lead to life-changing consequences.
