New Delhi: A seven-year-old boy died after allegedly falling into a septic tank at an under- construction house in outer Delhi's Kanjhawla area, police said today.
The body of Rocky was fished out from the tank after an hour-long operation. He was rushed to a hospital where he was declared brought dead.
