A seven-year-old child died after
a firecracker exploded in his mouth in Maharashtra's Buldhana
district, police said Thursday.
The incident took place at Pimpalgaon village under
the Raipur Police Station limits Tuesday evening, an official
said.
Yash Sanjay Gavate, the boy, was bursting crackers
with his friends ahead of Diwali, he said.
He picked up a `Sutli Bomb', which had not exploded,
thinking it had not been lit. As he playfully bit it, the
cracker went off causing serious injuries to the boy, the
police official said.
Yash was declared dead on arrival at the nearby
government hospital, the official added.
