Two-year-old boy playing near water tank found dead
Faridabad, March 2 -- A two-year-old boy died after allegedly tripping and falling into a water tank while playing near it on Saturday evening, police said.
Investigators said the boy's family, originally from Madhya Pradesh, lives in a rented accommodation in Sainik Colony in Sector 49.
The tenants of the house had allegedly built the water tank for their own use, they added. According to the police, preliminary investigations suggest the minor climbed on top of the tank which was covered only with plywood.
"The child was alone at his house at the time as both his parents had gone out for work at a local factory. They began looking for him after returning from work; however, the body was later found floating in the tank," a police officer at Dabua police station said, requesting anonymity.
Officials said an investigation is currently underway to determine the exact cause and circumstances that led to the child's death.

The body was sent to a nearby mortuary for post-mortem under Section 194 (procedure to probe unnatural deaths) of the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). Even though no foul play is suspected, further action will be taken based on the investigations," the officer added....
