After hours of hard work, the boy’s body was removed from the drain, which was identified by his father who arrived at the scene. After this incident there was a huge uproar among the boy’s family. The police are busy investigating this whole matter.
Local people say that this drainage is under the Delhi Government department. This drain is never cleaned. In this open drain there is an accumulation of garbage, so not even animals that fall through it can get out.
Many accidents have already occurred here in which many people have fallen. Many animals have died by drowning in the drain. Despite all this, the administration does not pay attention to it. Currently, the Nagloi police station has sent the boy’s body to Sanjay Gandhi Hospital for an autopsy.
