NEW DELHI, April 13 -- A nine-year-old boy allegedly drowned after accidentally falling into an uncovered water tank at an under-construction building in southeast Delhi's Govindpuri on April 8, police said on Sunday, adding that the plot owner has been arrested. Deputy commissioner of police (south east) Hemant Tiwari said the deceased was identified as Shreyansh Kumar, a resident of Tughlakabad Village, a Class 4 student at a government school. According to a senior officer, on April 8, Govindpuri police station received information from Batra Hospital regarding the death of the child. "The child was brought dead to the hospital after drowning in a water tank at a construction site." Preliminary inquiry revealed that the incident occurred around 1pm when Shreyansh was returning home from school. He handed over his school bag to his 11-year-old sister, who studies at the same school, and went off to play with two classmates despite her objections. "Trying to avoid being seen by his sister, the boy and one of his friends entered an under-construction premises. Due to poor lighting inside, he failed to notice a nearly seven-foot-deep water tank and fell into it," the officer added. Adequate measures had not been taken to cover the water container. His friends raised an alarm, following which his father rushed to the spot, pulled him out of the tank and attempted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). He was then taken to Batra Hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead. "An FIR under Sections 290 (negligent conduct during building construction) and 106 (causing death by rash or negligent acts) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita has been registered, and investigation is underway," the officer said, adding that no foul play has been suspected so far. The owner of the property, a resident of Tughlakabad, was arrested on April 9. Speaking to HT, the victim's father, Surender Kumar who runs a tea kiosk in the neighbourhood, said, "My daughter Rashi, 11, returned from school around 12:30pm and around 1pm went to bring Shreyansh home because I had taken my wife to the doctor for a check-up."...
