A 14-year-old boy suffered a severe injury when a sharp metal rod pierced his mouth during Holi celebrations in a Greater Noida West society.

A tragic incident took place on Monday night during Holi celebrations in Ajnara Homes Society, Greater Noida West, where a 14-year-old boy accidentally impaled himself with a sharp metal rod while playing with friends. Witnesses reported that the children were having fun in the open park area when the boy lost his balance and collided with the metal rods that were placed around some plants. This led to chaos in the society as the boy sustained a serious injury, causing panic among those present.

The sharp end of the metal rod penetrated into the boy's mouth, leaving him covered in blood and crying for help. Bystanders quickly took action, providing immediate assistance before informing the boy's relatives.
