Two-year-old dies after firecracker explodes inside his mouth
The victim parents said that the boy put a pop-pop firecracker in his mouth while playing, which exploded, injuring his gums and causing bleeding
On November 9, a two-year-old boy named Aditya tragically lost his life in Surguja district of Chhattisgarh after a firecracker exploded inside his mouth. His parents revealed that Aditya had put a lehsun firecracker, resembling garlic in shape and designed to explode when thrown on the ground, in his mouth during playtime. The explosion caused severe gum injury and bleeding.
The child's father, Indrajit Manjhi, informed journalists that after the bleeding ceased, the boy was initially taken to a community health center in Sitapur and later brought home. However, the bleeding resumed the following day, leading to another visit to the same health center. Aditya was then transferred to a mission hospital in Ambikapur on November 11, where he sadly succumbed to his injuries that same night.
The police have recorded the incident as an accidental death and are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the tragic event.
