Hyderabad: A 12-year-old boy lost his life while playing with a string at Weaker Section Colony, Bhavanipuram on Saturday evening.
The victim was identified as Bissu Karma Kunal.
Chanda Nagar police station sub-inspector N. Sridhar said Kunal, a sixth-grade student, resided with his family in Bhavanipuram, Chandanagar. His father, Bissu Karma Ramji, makes a living as a carpenter.

Neighbors who witnessed the scene alerted Kunal's parents. His parents immediately rushed him to the nearby hospital, desperately hoping for a miracle.
However, despite the best efforts of the doctors at the hospital, young Kunal could not be saved.
