A 7-year-old boy died after drowning at a water park in Delhi. The incident took place on June 13 around 5 PM when the child, who had come to the park in the Alipur area with his family, drowned while they were all in the pool.

The boy, a resident of Nehru Vihar in Delhi, had come to Just Chill Water Park with his uncle Yamin and other relatives.

Following the incident, the child was immediately rushed to Param Nursing Home in Kundli, Sonipat, where doctors declared him brought dead, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outernorth) Hareshwar V Swami said. The boy’s parents were later informed, and the family conducted the last rites at their residence.

“We are verifying the sequence of events and statements of all concerned parties. Further legal action will be taken based on the outcome of the enquiry,” the officer said, adding that details are being gathered from the water park management as well.

Authorities are also expected to examine whether any lapses in safety protocols at the water park contributed to the incident.

Police said they were alerted about the incident only on Saturday, after which an enquiry was initiated at the Alipur police station, following which Delhi Police registered an FIR in connection with the incident.

The case has been filed at Alipur Police Station under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Further investigation is underway.
