Police said Sidharth, 19, fell down from the building housing 'Match Box' restaurant around 4 p.m. on Saturday. He was rushed to a hospital but he succumbed to his injuries there, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Chinmoy Biswal said.
The young man's father Okendro R. is a former Education and Home Minister of Manipur.
"Some flower pots were found broken at the rear side of the restaurant building while his personal items like purse, cell phone and spectacles were found lying on the terrace. There was no eyewitness to the incident," Biswal said.
