24 hours of hope ends in horror: Delhi open manhole claims 4-year-old's life
New Delhi, Nov 12: A frantic 24-hour search involving the NDRF, police, fire services and other agencies ended in heartbreak on Wednesday when a four-year-old boy who had fallen into an open sewer line in Outer Delhi was found dead at a water treatment plant nearly 7 km from where he went missing. For Shahjahan (35), the loss is almost impossible to comprehend. Sitting on a steel bench at Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital, she breaks down repeatedly while calling out her son Imran's name. Exhausted after more than a day of waiting and hoping, she alternates between silence, tears and anguished cries. Beside her sits her six-year-old son, helplessly watching his mother grieve. Hours earlier, Shahjahan had been shown the remains of four-year-old Imran, who slipped into an open manhole on Tuesday afternoon. His body parts were recovered on Wednesday from a water treatment facility in Nilothi. Also read: Kedarnath Dham doors closed for winter: over 19.20 lakh devotees visit shrine this year
