Pranav, from Kerala, was killed when the four-wheel drive vehicle he and his family were dune bashing in turned turtle on Tuesday in a desert in the Madam area of Sharjah, the Khaleej Times reported.
"Our car had driven up a dune and it overturned when it was going down. I think the climb down the mound was steeper than what the driver assumed and he lost control," Pranav's uncle Ajith Kumar was quoted as saying.
Pranav's father Arun Kumar, a television cameraman, and his brother Ajith organised the desert safari after the latter had come over for a visit from India.
All others sustained minor injuries.
