A child on Monday died while undergoing treatment at the capital’s Ajgar Ali hospital where he was admitted after being trapped under a collapsed wall.
The deceased was identified as nine-month-old Abrar, son of Supti Begam.
The wall collapse occurred on Sunday in South Keraniganj’s Abdullahpur Kalakandi area, where Abrar was at his late maternal grandfather’s house. Abrar’s aunt took him to the rooftop in the afternoon. The aunt sat him down on one of the boundary wall, but it suddenly collapsed, trapping Abrar under the bricks.
The child was rushed to Ajgar Ali hospital where he died on Monday at around 12 pm.
One of Abrar’s grandfathers claimed that it was a pre-planned murder.
It was learned that Abrar’s father is an expatriate, and he had lived in his grandfather’s house with his mother for the last three months.
Officer-in-charge of South Keraniganj police station said that an investigation in this regard was underway.
