Four-Year-Old Falls Into Sewer in West Delhi, Body Recovered in Parts After Hours-Long Search

Police said the 24-hour search involved multiple teams and an FIR was filed against unidentified persons for causing death by negligence.

  • A 24-hour rescue operation for a four-year-old boy who fell into an open sewer in Baprola ended Wednesday when authorities discovered his dismembered body at a water treatment plant in Nilothi, police said.
  • Police received reports of the incident near Dass Garden Park on Tuesday after the boy accidentally fell into a manhole while moving toward a drain, according to officials.
  • Delhi Police and the National Disaster Response Force conducted an extensive search through the sewer and drain network; poor visibility and difficult conditions forced a temporary suspension Tuesday night.
  • Investigators suspect the body was dismembered by machinery at the water treatment plant, and authorities will conduct DNA profiling to confirm identity while an FIR for negligence has been registered.
  • Local residents expressed grief and raised concerns about uncovered manholes, while the Delhi Jal Board reported that the manhole cover had been damaged by miscreants before the incident.
