The incident occurred around 11 am, when two large loudspeakers had been placed on the ground for the area’s Republic Day programme.

Screen grab from CCTV footage shows a man carrying a bundle of rugs accidentally getting entangled in the loudspeaker wiring, causing the speakers to topple. The falling equipment struck four-year-old Angel Solkar, who was running in the same direction. She was rushed by local youths to a nearby hospital, which allegedly refused to admit her, and was later declared dead at Godrej Memorial Hospital. Pics/By Special Arrangement
