In a shocking incident, a four-year-old boy died on Tuesday night after being suffocated by a polythene cover that he had wrapped around his head while playing.

According to the police, Shreyan was playing in his house with plastic bag.  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 door closed though he wanted to leave it opened.

When he tried to take off the bag, it tightened around his mouth and he started suffocating. Unable to breathe, he knocked the door continuously for help, but his mother who was cooking, thought he was making some noise and ignored it.

Later she noticed him lying unconscious in the bedroom and rushed him to the hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead.

Kodela Shreyan was the only son of Mr K. Srinivas Reddy, a native of West Godavari district in AP working in Reddy Labs in Hyderabad. They live in a flat in Nest Praveena Residency in Nizampet. Shreyan was studying in UKG in Lingamaneni School in Kukatpally.
