It is further reported that the exact location of the incident is the Chitrakote Waterfalls in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar. The girl jumped from such a height because her parents scolded her for using the mobile phone. The incident occurred on Tuesday evening.

But fortunately, she survived and emerged a few metres away.

It is said that after she reached the falls, she wandered aimlessly for a while before taking making her way to the edge of the waterfall. The people present there noticed her and pleaded with her to hold back but she did not listen to them.

Chitrakote Waterfall, located 38 km from Jagdalpur in Bastar on the river Indravati, are also called “mini Niagara Falls” by the locals.

The police were informed and after conducting an investigation learned that the girl was scolded by her parents for using the mobile phone due to which she took the extreme step. Finally, she was handed over to the family.
