Overview
- Police identified the victim as Dilbar and said he fell while playing outside his home in Mehran Town’s Sector 6G.
- Neighbors alerted the family, and the child’s uncle entered the manhole to retrieve him.
- The body was transferred to Jinnah Hospital for legal formalities, according to police officials.
- In a separate nearby incident, a man reportedly suffocated while cleaning a sewer, with Edhi officials stating his body was taken to the Malir City police station.
- Last month’s uncovered manhole death of three-year-old Muhammad Ibrahim led to suspensions and a promised probe, though police later classified that case as an accident with no cognisable offence.
