India, July 5 -- A 16-year-old boy died after allegedly being buried under several tonnes of gravel while unloading a truck at a stockyard in Sector 113 early Friday, police said.

The victim was from Nainital in Uttarakhand and lived with his family in Bajghera. Police said he worked as a helper for a contractor in Gurugram and had gone to Sector 113 in a Rajasthan-registered truck carrying sand and gravel for supply to construction sites.

Police said the incident took place between 12.40am and 1am when the truck reached the stockyard and the driver asked the victim to get down and open the rear tailgate for unloading. As soon as he opened the tailgate, part of the gravel reportedly fell on him, trapping his legs underneath.
