A 15-month-old child died after drowning in a bucket of water in the bathroom of a house in Faridabad, police said.

The child was watching cartoons with other children at home and later his body was found in a bucket.

According to the police, Raman, a resident of Indira Colony, told that his 15-month-old nephew Ayush was sitting in front of the TV along with other children at home late on Saturday evening.
