A year-old boy drowned in a bucket in his home at Manjunathanagar on Saturday morning. Tanish’s mother, Navneeta, had gone to drop off his sister Kaushal at school while his father, Ramesh, an insurance firm employee, was resting as he was unwell.
The toddler wandered off into the bathroom and reached into the bucket which was half-full of water. He is believed to have lost his balance and fallen into it.
His mother came home a few minutes later to find him unconscious in the bucket. He was rushed to a hospital but was declared dead on arrival, the Basaveshwarnagar police said.
