Hyderabad: Eight-year-old dies as almirah falls on her

HYDERABAD: An eight-year-old girl was killed after an almirah fell on her while playing with her younger sister (5) in a room at a private school in Boduppal where her mother works.
The mother, a housekeeping staff, had brought the children along on Monday night as she had work at school and there was none to look after them at home, police said.
The woman, Latha, had left the two children K Keerthi (8) and Rohita (5) locked in the room to keep them safe while she went about her work.
“The two girls opened a wooden almirah and it collapsed on Keerthi while they were trying to get inside. The girl suffered severe head injury. Their mother rushed to the room and shifted Keerthi to a nearby hospital where she later died,” Medipally inspector B Anji Reddy said. Police registered a case.
