THANE: A four-year-old girl died on Tuesday after she developed severe health complications after pest control was done at her
Kasarwadavli
home in Thane, the police said.
Kishore Khairnar, senior police inspector at Kasarwadavali police station said pest control work was undertaken at their one-room kitchen flat on Saturday evening and the family was advised to stay away for few hours, but they returned early.
“The family members didn’t open the windows after returning as they wanted to keep the pests away. The woman and girl developed some reactions including vomiting but they ignored it,” he said. While mother’s health improved, the girl was having convulsions and was admitted to a private hospital in Kavesar on Sunday where she succumbed later in the day.
“The girl must have inhaled the
toxic fumes
,” said a doctor. The body was sent for autopsy.
