Delhi: 10-Year-Old Dies After Skyrocket Hits Chest, Family Alleges Hospital Negligence

A 10-year-old boy, Rishi, lost his life when a firecracker exploded in his chest during Diwali celebrations in Delhi's Narela on Sunday night. His family claims the hospital where he was taken neglected his medical care, while doctors assert they provided prompt attention. Rishi's elder brother, Mohit, alleges the medical staff showed indifference and only pressed Rishi's chest instead of rushing to administer treatment.

Anjali, Rishi's mother, also accuses the hospital of failing to provide proper care despite the child still being breathing when they arrived at the hospital. The Delhi Fire Service received 257 emergency calls during Diwali, with 24 related to firecrackers, the majority occurring between 8 pm and midnight. Five firefighters were also injured while responding to fire emergencies.
