In a freak incident, two people, including a woman techie, died after they allegedly fell down from the second floor of a pub here in suspected 'inebriated' condition, police said Saturday.

They were climbing down the stairs around midnight Friday after allegedly partying with friends when they slipped and fell to the ground through a window at the end of the stairs on the second floor of the pub on Church Street, they said.

According to police, the two, in their 30s, were immediately rushed to a hospital where doctors declared them brought dead.
