Chandigarh: A 10-year-old boy died after the compartment of a toy train in which he was taking a joy ride overturned at a mall here, police said on Monday.
The incident took place on Saturday night at Elante Mall, where the boy and his family from Balachaur in Nawanshahr, Punjab, were enjoying an outing, they said.
A purported CCTV footage of the incident has surfaced on social media.

The victim’s cousin, who was also sitting along with Shahbaz in the four-compartment toy train, escaped unhurt, they added.
