Islamabad - A 16-years-old boy died here yesterday at Federal Government Services Hospital (Poly Clinic) who critically injured and got unconscious after falling into an uncovered manhole last evening near Melody Market, a police source said.
He said that Arbab used to work with his father running a tailor shop in Melody Market. Last evening, he was going to Aabpara from Melody Market when he fell into an uncovered manhole near `Rehmania Masjid’.
