In a heart-wrenching incident at Elante Mall, Chandigarh, an 11-year-old boy named Shahbaz Singh lost his life after a toy train ride turned fatal. The innocent joy of a simple outing turned into a nightmare for Shahbaz and his family.
Shahbaz, hailing from Nawanshahr in Punjab, was enjoying a ride on the mall’s toy train along with his cousin. They sat in the last compartment, their laughter echoing through the air. But fate took a cruel turn—the compartment allegedly overturned during the ride, causing Shahbaz to fall and suffer severe head injuries. His cousin escaped unharmed, but Shahbaz’s life hung in the balance.
Shahbaz’s family acted swiftly, rushing him to the Government Medical College and Hospital in Chandigarh’s Sector 32. Doctors battled to save him, but tragically, Shahbaz succumbed to his injuries. His parents received the devastating news—their beloved son was gone.
The Chandigarh Police wasted no time. They booked the toy train’s driver and the mall management. An FIR was registered, and the driver, Saurav, was arrested. The question loomed: How did the accident happen? Could it have been prevented? The grief-stricken family sought answers.
Elante Mall, once a place of joy and laughter, now bears the weight of sorrow. Shahbaz’s loss reverberated through the community, leaving hearts heavy and eyes teary. The innocence of childhood collided with the harsh reality of tragedy.
As we mourn the loss of this young life, we must also reflect on safety measures. A simple ride turned fatal, reminding us that vigilance and accountability matter. Shahbaz’s memory will forever be etched in our hearts—a reminder to cherish every moment and protect our loved ones.
May he rest in peace. 🕊️🙏
