Dr Brajesh Kumar from the trauma centre at Sadar Hospital said, “He (the boy) was brought here in an ambulance, but we could not provide any treatment as he was brought dead.”
Earlier, the father of the boy said he was “mentally challenged” and had gone missing two days ago. While they searched for him, a woman informed the family that the boy was stuck between pillar No. 1 of a bridge built over the Son River and a slab.
An NDRF response force team was immediately called and the rescue mission started. Oxygen was supplied to the trapped boy through pipes till he was pulled out, but unfortunately the boy died on the way to the hospital.
