Krishnagiri: In a mysterious blast, an 8-year-old boy died on Tuesday while playing near his house in his village in Krishnagiri district. Police said, K. Jahid, a class 2 student of the government primary school and native of Bennagur village, on Denkannikottai-Hosur road died in the mysterious blast.
Around 7 pm, a mysterious object exploded and fell on the boy while the victim was playing near his house. But, the incident came to light only on the next day after his parents gave a police complaint. The reason for the delay in giving the complaint is unknown.
