GREATER Noida, June 21 -- An 11-year-old boy was found hanging under mysterious circumstances at his family's under-construction house in Bambawad village under the Badalpur police station area of Greater Noida , police said on Sunday .
The deceased, identified as Samar Nagar, was the son of local resident Nitesh Kumar Nagar, who is currently constructing a new house in the village. According to police, painting and finishing work was underway at the site.
Family members said that due to the ongoing school vacations, Samar and his sibling had gone to the new house to play. During this time, the two brothers reportedly got into a minor argument. One of them subsequently left the room.
