The incident is of Gandhinagar area, which has left the entire neighbourhood in shock and anger.

According to information, the boy, Rohit, was a Class 1 student at Rishri Gyan Mandir School.

After school, he was standing near a vacant plot just opposite the school. The plot belongs to a man named Bhanupratap Singh and had an old, damaged brick wall.

There was also a tree with a swing tied to it where children often played.

According to local residents, Rohit was trying to jump over the wall when it suddenly gave way and fell on him. Some nearby children saw the incident and immediately ran to inform his family.

Family members and neighbours rushed to the spot, removed the debris, and took Rohit to the district hospital in a critical condition. Sadly, doctors at the trauma centre declared him dead after examination.

Rohit was the middle child among three brothers, elder brother Eenshu and younger brother Mohit. His mother, Rinki Khatik, and other family members are devastated by his sudden death.

Locals said the wall had been in poor condition for a long time. Though people had raised concerns and asked for repairs, the plot owner reportedly ignored the warnings.

Now, residents are demanding strict action against the owner so that such tragic incidents do not happen again.

Police and the local administration have started an investigation. The body has been sent for post-mortem and later handed over to the family.
