He was sitting in a corner of the auto and found himself crushed when the auto toppled on its side.
He was taken to hospital with severe head and chest injuries but died during treatment.
Harshit's father. Sanjay Shitole, is a civil contractor and his mother is a schoolteacher.

One group carried Harshit to hospital, while others took the survivors, aged 7-10 years, to a sweets shop and informed their parents.
“Tilak Nagar police station in charge rushed to the hospital. The driver was arrested and sent for medical examination. A case under BNS sections 105 and 281 for culpable homicide and rash driving has been registered against him,” said ACP Mandloi.
Traumatized by the accident, the other children kept crying. When asked by locals, the driver allegedly claimed that one of the tyres got detached after hitting a stone.
