6-year-old child dies after falling in school's water tank in Delhi



A six-year-old student died after falling into a water storage tank at his school in Delhi.

The boy, identified as Divyansh Kakrora, was a class I student at Ryan International School in Vasant Kunj area in south Delhi, police said.

He was last seen before the seventh period, which was around 12.20 PM, following which the school authorities started looking for him.


The boy was trapped inside the tank till the sewage workers reached there and fished him out. His body was later found floating inside the pit, used as a water storage tank, under the ampitheatre in the school's playground, police said.

The school authorities took him to a hospital, where he was declared brought dead. It was around 2.40 PM that the hospital authorities informed the police about the matter, police said.


DCP south Delhi, Premnath said, "We got a call at around 2:40 pm. The kid was brought dead. We are probing the case. Child went missing during the seventh period. There was a poem competition in school and that is why the kid was here. Will take legal action. His father works in a government hospital."

Delhi Government has ordered a magisterial probe into the incident.

"Ordered District Magistrate of New Delhi to probe in Ryan child death case. To find facts, responsibility and ascertain exact role of school management," Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia tweeted.

Divyansh was also to participate in a poetry competition organised at the school today. His parents are both paramedic staff at AIIMS, police said, adding the family lives in Sultanpur locality in south Delhi's Mehrauli area.

The boy's father termed it a conspiracy and alleged someone from the school authority was behind the incident. "The principal called me at around 1.34 pm and said it was an emergency. When I asked what happened they asked me to keep mum," said RK Meena.


According to police, the incident happened around mid noon but it was reported after 3 hours. The District Magistrate New Delhi, Sanjay Kumar said, " There has been a considerable delay by the school in informing police. We got to know about the mishap only from the hospital."

The body of the student has now been shifted to AIIMS for autopsy.

Police have registered a case of negligence against the school authorities and asked the principal to join the probe.

Canadian authorities said Wednesday that a budding high school basketball star is actually a 29-year-old refugee from South Sudan. The Canadian Border Services Agency said that Jonathan Nicola was arrested earlier this week for contravening the country's Immigration Refugee Protection Act. The agency said Nicola "misrepresented material facts" on his application for a study permit to Canada, submitting an application with a date of birth of Nov. 25, 1998 — which would make him 17. The agency says when Nicola recently applied for a U.S. visitor visa, a fingerprint match determined he was an individual who had made a previous application to the U.S. using a date of birth of Nov. 1, 1986 — making him 29. The Windsor Star reported that Nicola was remanded into custody after a hearing before the country's Immigration and Refugee Board Tuesday. Another hearing is scheduled for next week. Nicola faces deportation if convicted Nicola was attending Catholic Central High S

She wanted to create something memorable, something that her son’s whole troop could enjoy. And did she deliver! The name of her son’s troop was the Cobra Den, so she decided to bake and decorate a cake that looked like a cobra. And she did—but she went way above and beyond. She got up at 5:00 in the morning, baked five separate Bundt cakes, and arranged them to create a six-foot-long slithering snake cake. Cutting the Bundt cakes in half, she put the halves end to end to make them look like a curving snake body. She used multiple batches of Rice Krispie Treat mix (which she also made) to sculpt the hooded head and pointy tail. Here are 12 baking mistakes you didn’t know you were making. With the cake put together, it was time for the frosting, which she also made herself. But she didn’t spread the frosting on the cake—she covered the whole thing with ti
