A teenage boy and his parents have tragically lost their lives after falling from Khawadya Hill in India on Friday. 19-year-old Kunal Chandgude allegedly got into an argument with his parents regarding payment of a new cell phone, which ultimately led to his family and emergency services trying to de-escalate the situation for three hours before it ended in tragedy.

The incident occurred around 10 a.m. local time on Friday, August 21. The Hindustan Times reports that Kunal Chandgude went up Khawadya Hill in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar after arguing with his parents over the payment of a new mobile phone. Unverified reports indicate that Chandgude had already bought the phone and had asked his family to pay the EMIs.
