A boy’s fingers were severed after a battery exploded in his hand in Medak district. Shivateja, a fourth-year student from Shivampet, was playing with a nine-volt battery when he tried to charge it. The battery suddenly exploded with a loud bang, causing almost complete mangling of his left hand.
His parents quickly took him to a private hospital in Kompally, Hyderabad, where he is now receiving treatment. Doctors have not yet released details about his condition.
Many people have expressed concern, emphasising that dangerous objects should not be given to young children. They advise parents to exercise caution with electronic devices such as mobile phones and chargers.
