A two-year-old boy, who had been undergoing treatment after an old drilling machine fell on him, succumbed to his injuries at a private hospital here on Sunday (October 12, 2025), the police said.
The deceased was identified as Dhruv, a resident of West Fort. According to the police, the boy had been fighting for his life since the accident occurred two days ago at his home.
“It was an old drill machine and not in working condition. The boy accidentally pulled it down by its wire, and the machine fatally hit his forehead, causing critical injuries,” a police officer said.
The incident took place on the day the family was hosting a function at the house, police added.
