A one-year-old boy lost his life after falling into a 10-foot-deep nullah yesterday afternoon. According to the police, Adarsh Gawli, who resides in Hanuman Nagar in Kandivli (East) was playing in the area behind his house with a group of kids when it is assumed he accidentally fell into the nullah.

When he didn’t return home after a while, his worried mother began searching for him but couldn’t find him anywhere. The neighbours too joined in the hunt for him. A resident of the area spotted the boy’s floating body and rushed him to a nearby hospital.
