The untimely death of an innocent child whose laughter filled the home with joy has plunged the entire family into deep shock.

Ten-year-old Hrithik Kumar drowned in a pond while playing in Kanjharuan village, under the Koran Sarai police station area, on Thursday afternoon. This accident, which occurred in a recently excavated pond within the Panchayat Government Building complex, not only extinguished the light of one family but also plunged the entire village into grief.

According to reports, Hrithik, son of Shashi Shekhar Singh, alias Raju Yadav, a resident of Ward No. 10 of Kanjharuan Panchayat, was playing in the Panchayat Government Building complex, located east of the village, on Thursday afternoon. While playing, he reached the edge of the pond. Suddenly, his foot slipped and he fell into deep water. When other children nearby saw him drowning, they raised an alarm. Hearing the children's cries, villagers rushed to the spot and began searching for him in the pond. After much effort, Hrithik, buried in the mud, was pulled out. However, by then it was too late.

Upon receiving the news of the innocent child's death, a mountain of grief fell upon the family. The cries and wailing of the parents and other family members cast a deeply somber atmosphere over the scene. Within moments, a large number of villagers gathered at the spot.

It is reported that Hrithik was the younger of two brothers. His elder brother also suffers from a mental disability. Given these circumstances, this tragedy has brought unbearable suffering to the family. The home that once echoed with the laughter of children is now shrouded in mourning.

Upon receiving news of the incident, the Koran Sarai police arrived at the scene. Station House Officer (SHO) Pramod Kumar stated that after completing the inquest proceedings, the body was sent to the Sadar Hospital for a post-mortem. A pall of gloom has descended upon the village following the tragedy.
