The 10-year-old child sustained chest injuries while bursting an 'anar' on Sunday night.
A 10-year-old boy died after a firecracker exploded while he was bursting crackers outside his house in the Narela area of Delhi on Sunday night, according to News18.
The incident occurred at approximately 9.45 pm on November 8 when the child was using a handheld flower-pot firecracker, known as an 'anar'. The explosion caused severe injuries to the boy's chest.
The child was taken to Satyawadi Raja Harish Chandra Hospital, but doctors declared him brought dead at around 10.50 pm. Delhi Police have sent the body for a post-mortem examination.
The boy's mother, Anjali, alleged that the hospital staff failed to provide adequate treatment and attempted to intimidate her family. She stated that while the boy was bursting crackers, a shot hit him from behind and struck his chest.
The boy's elder brother also alleged medical negligence, claiming that a proper examination was not conducted. He further alleged that the police did not assist the family and forced him to leave the hospital to care for his father.
Delhi Police are investigating the circumstances of the explosion and the type of explosive involved to establish the sequence of events.
