In a shocking incident, a one-and-a-half-year-old boy met a tragic demise in Dewas, Madhya Pradesh on Monday under puzzling circumstances. According to TOI, Simrol police station in charge Mansaram Baghel stated that the mother asserted that her son, Raj, suffocated after being given tea.

Baghel mentioned that the boy was at his maternal grandfather's house in Simrol as his father was serving a jail sentence.

However, tragically, he was declared dead on arrival.

Dr. Preeti Malpani, the hospital superintendent, told TOI that the boy was brought to the hospital already deceased, making it impossible to ascertain the exact cause of death at that point.
