Hyderabad: In a tragic incident, a year-and-a-half-old girl died after accidentally falling into a bucket filled with water when playing at her house in Pandu Basti in Quthbullapur on Thursday.
The child identified as Rani Devi was staying with her parents and her elder sibling in Pandu Basti for the past two years.
The child’s father, Pappu Ravidas (45), a daily-wage labourer from Bihar was taking care of Rani Devi and her 10-year-old sister, Chandini Kumari, as his wife was staying in Bihar for the past few months.
According to the police, on Thursday morning, the Ravidas left for work. At around 6 pm, Chandini went to the washroom and, upon coming out, found her younger sister inside the water-filled bucket.
She immediately raised an alarm, and the family members rushed the toddler to a nearby private hospital. However, doctors declared her dead on arrival.
The Suraram police registered a case under Section 194 of the BNSS and are investigating.
