Gujarat: Boy dies in wall collapse at an under-construction site

According to the police, Bharwad was constructing another floor in his house. Ajay lives with his parents opposite of Bharwad’s. On Saturday night, two children, including Ajay, were playing in the lane between the two houses when the incident happened. The partially-constructed brick wall facing the lane, collapsed and fell on Ajay.

“The boy’s family has alleged that there were no proper barricades or safety measures taken for the construction. The accused was on the top floor, watering the cemented floor when the wall collapsed. He has been sent to one-day police custody and we are investigating the case further,” K H Zankhat, the investigating officer in the case, said.
