Javed, son of Salim, was a resident of the Pinangwan village, and the incident occurred when the boy had gone to play with his sisters and brothers at a short distance from home.
Police said he jumped into the pit, which is about eight-feet deep, to take a bath.
As he jumped, a chunk of soil also fell on him and he drowned, police said.
When Javed did not come up, his siblings ran home and informed the family who reached the spot.
