Bhopal: A 6-month old child who was admitted to Paliwal hospital with burn injuries died on Friday. The child had fallen into a bucket of hot water as his elder sister failed to balance the child into her arms while playing with him. The incident took place on Thursday afternoon in Gulab Nagar area under Shahpura police station.

The father of the child Satish Poswal and mother Radha Poslal are partly blind. The couple was on the roof of the building at the time when the incident occurred on Thursday when their daughter Muskan was in the flat. The girl was looking after the child but she failed to maintain balance and the toddler got tossed from her arms and fell into a bucket of hot water.

The girl could not take the child out of it and alerted her parents. However, they rushed to the scene only after the child suffered over 80 per cent of burn injuries. Ritik was then taken to a nearby hospital from where doctors referred him to Paliwal hospital where he died on Friday night.
