A 27-year-old man and a nine-year-old boy drowned in separate incidents on Monday, said police, as the season’s heaviest showers so far hit the national capital. Police barricades were placed to block the roads leading to the underpass, which was filled with rain water since morning. Police said they were scanning CCTV cameras to ascertain when and how Chautala reached the underpass and if anyone else was accompanying him. In the second incident, a nine-year-old boy died after drowning in a pit filled with rain water near an agricultural field in Metro Vihar Phase-2 in outer Delhi’s Narela industrial area, said police. He may not have seen the pit since it was filled with rain water,” said a police officer who asked not want to be named.
