An 18-month-old girl drowned in a bucket at her home at Mannadi in the North Beach police station limits on Saturday.
According to the police, Iniyasree, daughter of Kumaresan and Kalaivani residing on Subbu Pillai Street, was found dead in the bucket in the bathroom by her parents on Saturday afternoon.
