Four-Year-Old Missing From Bhopal Found Dead In Septic Tank
A little boy named Jainul was four years old and lived in Bhopal, India.
He was playing near his house on Friday evening when he suddenly disappeared.
His family searched for him and then told the police.
The next day, his body was found in a big hole called a septic tank that was being built near his home.
The hole had about five feet of rainwater in it.
Police think the boy fell into the hole and drowned.
One of his shoes was found outside the hole, and the other was found inside it.
The person who owns the house had the hole dug about four months ago but left it open.
Police are now checking whether the owner was careless and should be held responsible.
It is a very sad event for the boy's family.
Four-year-old Jainul Pathan went missing from his home in Nishatpura, Bhopal, on Friday evening while playing near his house.
His body was found on Saturday evening in an under-construction septic tank near his home.
The tank contained around five feet of rainwater, and police suspect the child drowned in it.
One of the boy's slippers was found outside the tank while the other was recovered from inside it.
