<h2>Mumbai: 5-year-old boy drowns in water tank in Malad's Malwani</h2>
<p>A five-year-old boy drowned in an uncovered water tank on the terrace of a building in the Malwani area in <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-crime-news/article/malad-school-horror-3-year-old-girl-says-monster-hurt-her-23483892" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Malad West</a>, police said.</p>
<p>The incident took place in Navjivan Society on Monday evening. Police have identified the deceased as Abdul Rehman Shaikh, a resident of house number 15.</p>
<p>According to the police, Shaikh was with his friend, who is the son of Laiek Siddique, a neighbour and resident of house number 18.</p>
<p>Police said that Shaikh&rsquo;s mother was looking for him and called him to the house only to find that he was not playing with his friend. Concerned, Shaikh&rsquo;s mother, along with Siddique's other children, began searching for him when another neighbor mentioned seeing Shaikh going up the terrace.</p>
<p>Police said that Siddique&rsquo;s 16-year-old daughter went up to the terrace to check but could not find him. That is when she noticed the uncovered <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/minor-boy-drowns-in-water-tank-in-thane-building-23482705" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">water tank</a>, and upon looking inside, she found Shaikh submerged.</p>
<p>She screamed for help, and together with others, they pulled him out. Shaikh was rushed to a nearby hospital where the doctors declared him dead upon arrival, said police.</p>
<p>Shaikh&rsquo;s family alleged that the water tank lid on Siddiquie's terrace had been left open, which led to this incident. The deceased&rsquo;s mother had reportedly warned Siddique and his family about the potential danger, as the children often play on the terrace.</p>
<p>"If the tank lid had been securely closed, this accident could have been avoided," said Shaikh&rsquo;s grandfather Gulam Qadir. He further demanded a fair investigation into the incident and appropriate action against those responsible for the negligence.</p>
