A 11-year-old boy, who sustained severe injuries after a bullet was reportedly misfired from the Pasumalaipatti shooting range, where the CISF personnel were undergoing a training programme, died without responding to treatment on Monday.
The boy, K Pugalendhi (11), son of Kalaiselvan-Palaniammal from Kothamangalathupatti near Narthamalai in Pudukkottai district had come down to visit his grandfather Muthu during the half-yearly holidays.
