A seven-year-old boy died after he allegedly fell into an open pit meant for a lift to be installed in an under-construction building at Kadugodi here, police said on Thursday.

Suhas Gowda was playing with his friends near the five-foot-deep pit, which got filled with rain water, when he suddenly fell into it leading to his drowning on Wednesday.

Local residents pulled him out and rushed him to a hospital where he was declared brought dead, a senior police officer said.

Based on the complaint filed by the victim’s mother, a case under section 106 ( Causing death by negligence) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita was registered against two people, including the building’s caretaker, he said.
