Kids fall into manhole

By Our Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI, DEC. 17. In a tragic incident, two boys fell into an open manhole while they were running away from a stray dog in a village at Ambedkar Nagar in South Delhi on Thursday. According to the police, Insaaf, a worker in a garment factory and a resident of Devli village, asked his sons, Imtiaz (7) and Raja (3), to fetch sweets from the nearby market around 4 p.m. yesterday.

The two boys were on their way to the sweets shop when a stray dog began barking and chasing them. Imtiaz and Raja panicked and began running. However, in their nervousness, they did not spot the manhole, whose lid had been removed for cleaning the sewer, and fell into it. The police team, however, could only recover the bodies of the two children.
