"The children were playing on an inflatable bouncer which provides a trampoline-like effect when kids jump. However, a gust of wind imbalanced the bouncer due to which the kids fell from a height," the official informed. He said Manohar Raghoji More, a resident of Sengaon, died instantly while four other children sustained serious injuries.
"The injured children were rushed to a nearby hospital. We have registered an accidental death case and a probe is underway," a Hingoli police station official said.
