A four-year-old boy tragically lost his life after falling into a water tank near a cluster of shanties in Uttar Pradesh’s Noida, according to the police. The incident occurred on Friday near Parthala Roundabout in Sector 123 under Sector 113 police station limits.
The child, originally from Sitapur district, was living with his family in the shanties at Sector 123, where his father works as a labourer. Upon receiving information about the incident, police immediately responded and rushed the child to a hospital, where he was unfortunately declared dead by the doctors.
Following the necessary legal formalities, the body was handed over to the family, who later performed the last rites. A case has been registered, and further legal proceedings are currently underway.
This incident bears a striking resemblance to a similar tragedy that occurred on July 25, where a four-year-old boy drowned after falling into an open water tank near a cluster of shanties in Noida’s Sector 63A. In that case, the child had gone missing while playing outside his home and was later found in the tank after a search by family members and neighbours.
The police had registered a case and initiated legal proceedings in the previous incident, and it remains to be seen how the investigation into this latest tragedy will unfold.
