Three-year-old boy drowns in rainwater pond in Bhosari

“On Monday afternoon, Ganesh and two-three other children from the settlement were playing next to some ponds that have been created due to accumulation of water on the uneven surface. A while later, the children playing with Ganesh came running to his mother and told her that Ganesh had fallen in the pond. His mother rushed to the spot and took him out. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead by the doctors,” said an officer from Bhosari police station.

Last week, four teenage girls had fallen into a trench filled with rain water near Mahakali temple on Katraj-Kondhwa Road.

One of the girls drowned while local residents and the fire brigade rescued the three others.
