Chennai: A 14-month-old boy drowned in a bucket filled with water outside his home at Melachery in Chengalpet district.
The baby, M Augustine was the younger son of Manikandan, an electrician, and Joyce. The couple got married in 2019 and they have a four-year-old son too.
On Monday afternoon, Manikandan was at work while Joyce was with the children at home. The woman sat outside the house and fed Augustine. After feeding him, she went inside. In the short time she was away, the boy fell into the bucket.
The bucket was kept under a public tap near the house.
When she returned, she saw her son in the bucket and pulled him out. She alerted her neighbours and family members who rushed him to Chengalpet govt hospital, where he died on Tuesday night.
The Palur police registered a case.
