Boy dies after falling from his father's arms in a shopping center

A harrowing accident was captured by security cameras at the City Center shopping center in Raipur in India, this Tuesday.

A family outing turned into a nightmare when a one-and-a-half-year-old boy tragically lost his life after slipping from his father's arms and falling from the third floor of the shopping center.

CCTV images from the shopping center captured the heartbreaking moment in which a man was seen carrying the child in his arms, accompanied by another subject and a 5-year-old child.

When they approached an escalator to go up to the fourth floor, the man stopped momentarily to hold the older child, but in a tragic turn of events, the little one he was carrying in his arms slipped and fell into the void.

Despite quick efforts to get the boy to a nearby hospital, he succumbed to his injuries, leaving the family and onlookers heartbroken by the tragic accident.

Police said Rajan Kumar had arrived at the mall with his one-year-old son Rajveer and other family members to do some shopping.

As soon as the information about the boy's death was received, all the shops in the mall were closed and the mall was left empty.
