Kathmandu. A 15-year-old boy Akash Ram was injured today in Malangwa of Sarlahi. The child's right hand is injured.

The incident took place in Malangwa-4, Dhaka Border area. According to the police, the boy was injured while playing with a pistol carelessly. A pistol was found wrapped in a red cloth inside the under-construction Hanuman temple. The boy thought that the pistol was fake when he fired it.
