Although the incident happened about three weeks ago, the matter came to light only after Pari Yadav's parents decided to file a complaint against her baby sitter on July 2 after the little girl was discharged from the hospital.
Pari was with the baby sitter when she fell from the balcony of the creche located on the 10th floor of Monarch Orchid, Sector 19, Kharghar.
Incidentally, the Yadavs reside on the 9th floor of the same building.
Pari was rushed to the hospital after she landed on a bushy tree, which cushioned her fall.
"Since both of us are working, for a year we have been keeping our baby at the creche on the 10th floor of our building."
"On June 11, the baby sitter, Alka Shukla informed us that our baby fell down from the balcony and she has admitted her to a hospital. The doctor informed us that she has received thigh and eye injuries," said Anupam Yadav, the girl's mother.
"I have filled a complaint against the baby sitter at Kharghar police station, and I believe it is a clear cut case of negligence. I accept that it was a mistake to keep my baby with such irresponsible people at the same time it is also the duty of the baby sitter to keep a watch on the activities of the kids," Yadav further added.
Police Inspector Pramod Bovte, who is also the investigation officer in the case, said, "We have registered a case of negligence against the baby sitter based on the complaint by Pari's parents. We will investigate the matter further to know what actually transpired.
However, resident at Monarch Orchid are not too convinced about the Yadavs' allegations against the baby sitter.
According to a resident who did not wish to be named, the creche has been providing service for years and so far there were no complaints against them and this is just one "unfortunate incident."
