A 21-month-old toddler succumbed to fatal chemical burns after tumbling into an open bucket of scalding industrial solution outside a manufacturing unit in Bengaluru.
Subramani died following 10 days of intensive care in a private hospital. The tragedy unfolded around 11:00 AM on November 2 in L N Puram, a dense residential-industrial pocket under the Srirampura police limits. The child was playing outside his house alongside his eight-year-old sister when he stepped near the neighbouring Shivam Copper Maker Factory. Moments later, he fell headlong into the container of heated chemicals.
Security cameras mounted above the alley caught the entire sequence. The footage shows the toddler stumbling into the unattended, steaming chemical bucket placed directly within reach of pedestrians.
Hearing screams, relatives pulled the boy from the solution and scrambled him to an advanced private medical facility in Bengaluru. Doctors battled for 10 days to stabilize him. The chemical burns proved catastrophic. Srirampura police officers moved in shortly after hospital authorities pronounced the child dead, registering a case of unnatural death.
