The tragic Ambala borewell tragedy has taken a new turn after the post-mortem report of four-year-old Nirvair revealed the exact cause of his death. Medical experts confirmed that the child succumbed to a combination of severe injuries and suffocation after falling into an open borewell. Following the incident, police have registered an FIR against three individuals, including the owner of the agricultural land where the accident occurred.
Post-Mortem Reveals Multiple Causes of Death
A special panel of forensic doctors at the Civil Hospital in Ambala City conducted the post-mortem examination. According to the medical report, Nirvair suffered multiple serious injuries while falling into the borewell.
The report stated that the child had:
- Severe head injuries
- Serious chest trauma
- Deep injuries on both ankles
- Signs of drowning, with water found inside the lungs
Doctors concluded that the child’s death resulted from the combined impact of these critical injuries and suffocation rather than a single cause.
Doctors Estimate Death Occurred Hours Before Rescue
Dr. Sumit Khukhreja, a member of the medical board, along with Dr. Shailja, carried out the examination. According to the preliminary findings, Nirvair had died approximately 12 hours or more before he was brought to the hospital.
This indicates that the child had already lost his life long before rescue teams managed to pull him out of the nearly 220-foot-deep borewell after an extensive rescue operation lasting over 20 hours.
FIR Registered Against Three People
Following the heartbreaking incident, Saha Police have taken legal action against those allegedly responsible for leaving the borewell uncovered.
An FIR has been registered against:
- The owner of the farmland, Harnek Singh
- Two individuals who had taken the agricultural land on lease
Police stated that the accused have been booked for negligence and that teams are conducting raids to locate and arrest them. No arrests had been made at the time of reporting.
Negligence Under Investigation
Authorities are investigating whether mandatory safety measures for abandoned or unused borewells were ignored. Leaving an open borewell without protective covering is considered a serious safety hazard, especially in agricultural areas where children often play.
Officials have indicated that accountability will be fixed after completing the investigation.
Rescue Operation Drew Statewide Attention
The rescue operation attracted widespread attention across Haryana as teams from multiple agencies worked continuously to save the child. However, poor visibility, water seepage inside the borewell, and challenging weather conditions complicated rescue efforts.
The post-mortem findings have now confirmed that despite the prolonged rescue mission, the child had already succumbed to his injuries and suffocation several hours earlier.
Conclusion
The Ambala borewell tragedy has once again highlighted the dangers posed by uncovered borewells and the importance of strict safety compliance. With the post-mortem confirming the cause of Nirvair’s death and an FIR registered against three accused, authorities are now focusing on ensuring accountability while preventing similar tragedies in the future.
