A three -year -old boy from Rajasthan died after falling into a garbage well in a cafeteria near the domestic terminal of Cochin airport on Friday.
The boy, identified as Rithan Jaju, son of Soubh, was playing in the garden on the outskirts of Anna Cafe, near the airport, when he fell in the four -foot deep well that had been left open for cleaning work.
Rithan’s family, part of a group that had come on tour, stopped in the cafeteria for lunch.
According to the police, the incident occurred around 12:50 pm while they had dinner inside.
After Rithan was not seen anywhere, his parents looked for the area and then informed the limited authorities of the Cochin International Airport (Cial) after not being able to locate it.
During the search, Rithan’s father saw his shoes near the garbage well that led him to his discovery.
When taken from the well, the child was unconscious and vomited garbage. The authorities immediately administered the CPR before taking it to a nearby hospital where it was declared dead.
Police launched an investigation into the accident and the child’s body has been sent for a post mortem exam.
The Cial has not yet responded to the incident.
