In a heart-wrenching incident at Fatehpur Sikri Fort, a French tourist lost her life. This unfortunate event unfolded as the 60-year-old woman was exploring the fort alongside a group of fellow travelers. Tragically, she fell from a nine-foot-high platform, and the absence of immediate medical assistance in the vicinity compounded the situation. It took an ambulance, summoned from 20 kilometers away, considerable time to reach the scene, and by the time medical professionals could attend to her, it was too late.
The Fateful Day with French Tourists
On the 21st of September, the woman joined a group of 30 French tourists on a visit to Fatehpur Sikri Fort, a renowned historical site. The group was engaged in capturing photographs within the stunning confines of the Turkish Sultanate Palace when a wooden railing gave way due to the collective weight of those leaning on it. The unfortunate incident left the woman unconscious and severely injured after she plummeted onto a stone pedestal.

The Unanswered Questions Surrounding the Tragedy
Suspicion arises over the nature of the woman’s injuries, as there was no visible bleeding when she fell. It is likely that she suffered a fatal head injury that did not immediately manifest any external signs of trauma. The delay in the ambulance’s arrival further exacerbated the situation.
The Crucial 45 minutes
Reports suggest that it took a painstaking 45 minutes for the ambulance to reach the accident site. During this critical time, the woman was assisted by some guides present at the scene who provided initial first aid and facilitated her transportation to the hospital. However, despite these efforts, her condition deteriorated rapidly.
