The child died on Sunday night after a hand-held flower-pot firecracker exploded and hit his chest.
A 10-year-old boy died after a firecracker exploded and hit his chest during Diwali celebrations in outer Delhi's Narela on Sunday night, according to India Today.
The incident occurred around 9:45 pm on November 8 while the child was bursting a hand-held 'anar', or flower-pot firecracker, outside his home.
The boy was rushed to Satyawadi Raja Harish Chandra Hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead at approximately 10:50 pm with burn injuries.
The victim's elder brother alleged medical negligence at the hospital, claiming a proper examination was not conducted and timely intervention could have saved the child.
The brother also accused the police of failing to assist the family and alleged they took the boy's body while he was tending to his unconscious father.
Police have sent the body for a post-mortem examination and are investigating the type of explosive involved and the circumstances of the explosion.
