HYDERABAD: In a tragic incident in Telangana‘s Warangal town, an eight-year-old boy died after choking on a chocolate his father brought him from abroad.

The chocolate stuck in Sandeep Singh’s throat. He was rushed to MGM Hospital, where he succumbed. According to police, tragedy struck the family of Kanghan Singh, who runs an electrical shop in the town.
