An eight-year-old boy, a resident of the Prestige Falcon City apartment off Kanakapura Road in south Bengaluru, died on Thursday (November 27, 2025), three days after being admitted due to prolonged diarrhoea.
Residents of the apartment, who have been falling ill regularly and believe water contamination is behind their deteriorating health, are alleging the same cause for the child’s death. However, civic officials said they can draw a conclusion only after the medical reports are out.

Mansoor Ali, a resident of the apartment complex, said that health issues such as diarrhoea and vomiting have persisted among many residents since the start of October.
“All hospitals nearby have at least one patient from our apartment complex, as everyone is falling sick regularly. We have been complaining about water contamination, but the problem is being downplayed,” he said.
