The joys of the Diwali festival in Delhi have turned into mourning for one family. A 10-year-old child met a tragic death while bursting crackers in Rajiv Colony, which falls under the Narela police station area in outer Delhi. In this tragic incident, a rocket hit the child directly in the stomach, causing severe injuries. According to a report by 'Aaj Tak' conveying the news today, this accident has cast a shadow of grief over the entire family.
According to information provided by family members, on the auspicious occasion of Diwali on Sunday, family members were bursting crackers after completing prayers and rituals. During this, the child was also launching rockets. At the time of the accident, instead of going into the sky, the rocket hit the child directly in the stomach. The incident was so horrific that the child was critically injured. Immediately after the incident, family members rushed the child to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The injured child was taken to Raja Harishchandra Hospital in Narela, but upon arrival, doctors declared him dead. As soon as the news of the child's death broke, heavy tension and an uproar ensued at the hospital. The child's relatives leveled serious allegations against the hospital doctors for negligence in treatment. The family claims that if proper treatment had been provided, the child's life might have been saved. The commotion at the hospital made the situation tense.
Upon hearing the news of the child's death, the health of the father, who had reached the hospital, also suddenly deteriorated. In the house where there were joys and lights of the Diwali festival, now only the sounds of weeping and mourning can be heard. The police have taken custody of the child's body and sent it for post-mortem. Currently, an investigation is underway into the entire matter to determine how this accident occurred and the veracity of the allegations against the hospital.
This incident has once again raised questions about the importance of exercising caution while bursting crackers during the festival. The police are now conducting a thorough investigation into all aspects of the accident to bring out the truth.
