The incident occurred in the Rewadi Khurd village under the Kalyanpur police station area.

Ali was rushed to the district hospital and was later shifted to the Lala Lajpat Rai (LLR) Hospital in Kanpur, they added.
Mohammad held a fireworks license in his wife Hasina’s name, which was under renewal at the time of the incident, Superintendent of Police (SP) Anoop Kumar Singh said.
A preliminary probe revealed lapses in monitoring, which led to prompt action against the erring police personnel, officials said.

An inquiry has been instituted into the matter, and additional SP (Fatehpur) Mahendra Pal Singh has been directed to conduct a probe and submit the fact-finding report within the stipulated deadline.
