The toddler fell from the balcony of a two-storey residential house at Weavers’ Colony in Gottigere on Saturday and succumbed to injuries on Sunday.
The deceased was identified as Vehanth, 3, son of Vinod Kumar and Kavya, who were residents of 10th Cross, Weavers’ Colony.
According to the police, the incident took place around 6 pm when Vehanth was playing on the balcony with his mother. Kavya entered the house after her brother-in-law’s sister asked for help in the kitchen and left the child unattended for several minutes. During this time, Vehanth allegedly climbed the two-metre parapet wall and fell from the second floor.
He suffered severe head injuries and was taken to hospital. Despite efforts to revive him, Vehanth succumbed to his injuries on Sunday morning. The Konanakunta police have registered a case.
