A four-year-old boy died while his nine-year-old cousin was seriously injured after a 25-feet wall of a closed factory in Patel Nagar area here collapsed today, police said.
Aakash (4) and Sunny (9) were standing near the wall having food when the wall collapsed on them, police said.

The factory, which had been shut down five years ago, was in dilapidated state.
