Tragic Incident: Toddler Dies After Choking on Chickpea

A two-year-old child in Korba, Chhattisgarh, tragically lost their life after choking on a chickpea. The incident occurred when the child, identified as Divyansh Kumar, swallowed the chickpea, which became lodged in their throat. Despite immediate medical attention, the child succumbed to the obstruction. The incident took place in the Ghantaghar area of Korba district. The child’s father was away at work when the incident occurred. The child’s parents rushed him to the hospital, where doctors attempted to save him, but the chickpea had already caused severe complications.
