A four-year-old migrant boy was crushed under the wheels of an SUV near the Durga temple on Saturday morning. The deceased has been identified as Sourav, son of Anirudh, a native of Uttar Pradesh and at present residing at Sunet village.

Eyewitness said a man sitting in the SUV was distributing biscuits to children outside the temple. The guard of the temple asked the SUV driver to park the vehicle on the roadside to make way for traffic. “The moment the driver reversed the vehicle, a boy standing right behind it got crushed under the rear wheel.
