After the cake was cut and the guests sat down for dinner, Sahil and his friend Aryan went into a room where Shankar had stored sulphuric acid in a glass bottle for jewellery-related work.

The guests rushed the children to a private hospital, which referred them to Victoria hospital, where doctors declared them brought dead," a police officer said. The bodies of the boys were handed over to the parents after a postmortem examination on Thursday.
