Udupi :   A hot curry vessel proved fatal for three year old Santosh  who fell into it accidentally while playing in his house in Padubidri police station limits. The little boy who sustained critical injuries  and battled for life for almost  over two days, breathed his last at the  Manipal Hospital on July 15, Monday.

 Santosh was  the son of Venkatesh, a labourer. He was playing while his parents were busy in some other work at home and eventually fell into the hot curry vessel. He was immediately rushed to KMC Hospital, but his life could not be saved.
