7-year-old dies in Maharashtra after firecracker bursts in mouth

A seven-year-old boy died in Maharashtra's Buldhana district after a Sutli bomb that initially failed to go off accidentally burst in his mouth, police said. The boy, who was bursting crackers with his friends ahead of Diwali, picked up the firecracker, which had not exploded, thinking it hadn't been lit. However, as he playfully bit it, the cracker went off.
