Overview
- Police identified the victim as three-year-old Devansh, who slipped into a deep pit near a temple during a community feast and was declared dead at a nearby hospital.
- No FIR has been filed, the family declined a post-mortem, and the body was released for last rites, according to Greater Noida police.
- Greater Noida Authority officials inspected the site and said the pit is on privately owned land, which they said limits the agency’s ability to act.
