Festival Turns Tragic as Two Children Die in Separate Incidents in Chittoor District
According to reports, in Chandragiri town’s B.D. Colony, a boy named Sameer was flying kites along with a friend when he accidentally fell and sustained injuries. His family rushed him to the hospital for treatment. Meanwhile, a shocking incident followed when Sameer’s maternal uncle, angered by the situation, locked him in a room and left. Terrified by the threat of being beaten upon his uncle’s return, Sameer, aged 12, tragically hanged himself.
In a separate incident in Madanapalle village, another boy lost his life due to electrocution while flying kites. He came into contact with a live electrical wire during the activity, leading to his immediate death.
Both incidents have plunged the families into deep grief, turning what was supposed to be a festive celebration into a period of mourning.
