NEW DELHI: A four-year-old boy who fell into a nearly 50-foot-deep sewer in Outer Delhi’s Ranhola area on Tuesday was found dead after an almost 20-hour search operation.
His dismembered body was recovered around 3.5 km from the spot where he had fallen, at a water treatment plant in Nilothi, police said.
Preliminary information suggests that the child, Imran, a resident of Som Bazar Wali Gali in Mohan Garden, had accompanied his mother to Dass Garden Park.
What happened
He reportedly moved towards the drain to attend to nature’s call when he accidentally fell into an open manhole alongside the service road. The manhole was allegedly covered with a thin fibre sheet.
Cops said information about the incident was received at Ranhola police station at 3.20pm, following which a team rushed to the spot near Kheri Baba Pul.
Delhi Fire Services personnel and teams of NDRF launched a joint rescue operation. However, the family has alleged that the initial search remained confined to the spot where the boy had fallen until Wednesday morning.
