A harrowing incident unfolded in the Khwas Ji Ka Bas area under the Rajgarh police station limits in Alwar district, where a toddler met with a severe accident inside his home. While playing alongside his siblings, a two-year-old boy accidentally plunged straight into a large vessel filled with boiling water used for cooking chickpeas, resulting in devastating burns across his body.
The accident during daily street-food prep
According to the details gathered, Devendra सैनी, a resident of Khwas Ji Ka Bas, earns a living for his family by setting up a street cart selling chaat and snacks. As part of his daily chores, he had boiled chickpeas at home and placed the scalding hot water in a large container directly on the floor. At that very moment, Devendra's two-year-old son Yogendra सैनी was playfully running around the courtyard with his two other siblings. While playing, the toddler suddenly lost his footing and tumbled right into the container of boiling liquid, triggering the horrific accident.
Intensive medical intervention saves the child
Panicked family members rushed the badly burnt child without a moment of delay to a local hospital in Rajgarh. Recognizing the critical nature of his injuries, the attending medical staff provided initial stabilization before immediately referring him to the general hospital located at the Alwar district headquarters. By the time the family arrived at the Alwar facility, Yogendra was in an extremely precarious condition. Due to severe scalding and deep shock, the toddler was struggling heavily to breathe, putting his life in imminent danger. A dedicated team of doctors sprang into action, and after hours of rigorous medical efforts, they successfully stabilized the child and saved his life.
The toddler has now been admitted to the FBMC ward of Gitanand Shishu Chikitsalaya, where specialized medical supervision continues. This unfortunate episode serves as a stark reminder for parents and caregivers to maintain strict vigilance over children at home and to keep hot kitchen items and boiling liquids safely out of their reach.
