Ansari was sleeping with his grandmother in the living room. His father had plugged the battery charger in the living room at around 2:30 am and went to sleep in the bedroom. Shabbir’s mother was also sleeping in the bedroom. They were woken up at around 5:30 am by the sound of an explosion followed by a short circuit.

While the grandmother sustained minor injuries in the blast, Shabbir was seriously injured. He was rushed to the hospital where the boy succumbed to his injuries on September 30. The explosion was so fierce that not only the window panes got broken but also the house was badly damaged. Household appliances and gadgets also got destroyed in the accident. Firefighters reached the spot and took stock of the damage.

The family has not registered any complaint in the matter, and a case of accidental death has been registered, said the police, adding that, overheating might have caused the battery to explode and that a probe was underway.
