On Tuesday after returning from school, Shreyan was playing in their house. Earlier, when he would play with plastic carry bags, his mother would warn him not to play with them. Being fearful of his mother, on Tuesday he went inside the bedroom and started playing with a plastic bag, which he put over his head.
The report adds that when the child tried to take off the bag, he started suffocating and banged on the door for help. However, his mother who was in the kitchen went to check on him only after a while, and found him unconscious.
