Innocent child came to grandmother’s house, accident happened while playing

The family of deceased Shiva is originally a resident of Banjari Mod (Dhanni Purva) of Bahraich district. His father Vikram Kumar works in a private company in Chennai. Shiva’s mother Lalita had come to her mother Meena Devi’s house in the JBTC complex in Nishatganj four days ago with her children – Shiva (8 years), Hrithik and a small lactating daughter Pari.

Right near this complex, the Childhood Day Care Center of the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, the office of the Deputy Director and a hostel for visually impaired girl students are also present. While playing with other children in the same premises, Shiva went near that gate, which proved to be a death for him.

“The gate was supported by two weak angles” – family members’ allegation

When the dead body of the innocent child reached home after the incident, there was chaos. The family members, overcome with anger and grief, took the body of the child and placed it in front of the Bachpan Day Care Center and started protesting on the road.

Serious allegations by family members:

Shiva’s maternal uncle Rahul Kashyap and other relatives allege that this heavy gate of the day care center was erected with the support of only two very thin and weak angles. Due to lack of maintenance for a long time, the iron had completely melted from below and the gate was shaking for several days. Despite the complaint and information about it, the officials of the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities did not consider it necessary to get it rectified. Family members say that if this center had been open, many other disabled children coming there could have also fallen prey to it.
