Bijnor Boy Critically Injured After Kite Flying Accident
An 11-year-old boy in Bijnor was critically injured after an iron pipe touched an 11,000-volt power line while he was trying to retrieve a kite.
A routine afternoon of kite flying turned into a nightmare for an 11-year-old boy in Bijnor, leaving him fighting for his life. The young boy, identified as Javed Saifi, sustained life-threatening injuries after coming into contact with a high-tension power line while on his rooftop.
The Fatal Attempt to Retrieve a Kite
The incident took place in the Mohalla Mugalushah area, falling under the jurisdiction of the Najibabad police station. According to local reports, Javed was flying a kite on his roof when it became hopelessly entangled in an 11,000-volt high-tension electricity line passing close to the building.
In a desperate attempt to rescue his kite, the child picked up an iron pipe to reach the line. The moment the metal pipe made contact with the live wire, a massive electrical discharge occurred. The force of the shock was so intense that it produced a loud noise and threw the young boy violently to the ground.
Emergency Response and Medical Crisis
The sudden commotion alerted his parents, who rushed to the rooftop along with neighbors. They found Javed in a critical state, unresponsive and severely injured. The family immediately rushed him to Pooja Hospital on Haridwar Road to seek urgent medical attention.
As his condition rapidly deteriorated, medical professionals at Pooja Hospital determined that he required more intensive care and transferred him to Life Line Hospital. Following further assessment of his injuries, doctors eventually referred him to AIIMS Rishikesh for specialized treatment to handle the complexities of his condition.
Severe Internal Injuries Reported
Medical reports have revealed the devastating extent of the accident, stating that the boy has sustained severe internal burns caused by the high-voltage current. The impact of such a massive surge of electricity often causes damage that is not visible on the surface, making the recovery process incredibly difficult.
Local police have taken note of the incident and are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident to determine if there were any safety lapses or specific factors that contributed to the tragedy.
