Child falls from third floor, dies

Patancheru: A three-year-old boy Varun Tej was killed on Monday night after he fell from the third floor of the family's rented accommodation in Srinivasnagar Colony in Ramachandrapuram town of Sangareddy district.

He succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment at a hospital. The victim's parents Anil Kumar Chouhan and Sulochana blamed the house-owner for the death of their child alleging that he failed to repair the railing. The family has been staying in the house for the last two months.

While Chouhan and Sulochana were inside the house on Monday evening, their younger son Tej was playing outside. He fell down and sustained injuries. The parents, who lodged a police complaint against the house-owner, told The Hans India that they had urged him several times a week back to get the railing repaired, but the latter did not oblige. Since he did not consider their plea, he was responsible for the death of their child, the complaint stated, seeking police to take action against him.
