Rajkot: A seven-year-old boy, the son of agricultural labourers from Madhya Pradesh, died after being run over by a tractor at Charkhadi village in Gondal taluka of Rajkot district, late on Tuesday night.
Tej Nahal, whose family are from Barwani district of MP, was playing near the tractor when the accident occurred. His parents were working in the field.
Tej's father, Akhilesh (27), filed a complaint at Gondal Taluka police station against the tractor operator, Uday Kandoriya, who had employed the family.
Kandoriya moved the tractor forward without noticing the child nearby. Tej was taken to the Gondal government hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival.
