Five-year-old dies after being rescued from borewell in Madhya Pradesh

Sehore: In a tragic development, the five-year-old boy who was rescued from a 100 ft deep borewell here, has died.

Satyam had been rescued earlier today and sent to the nearby hospital for further treatment. However, the boy`s condition was said to be very critical.

Earlier in February, a one-year-old boy, who fell into a 50-foot deep borewell, was rescued after a marathon 17-hour operation at Behri Khud village in Madhya Pradesh`s Singrauli district.

Such cases have now and then come to fore, one being in 2006 when the five-year-old Prince, was miraculously rescued by the armed forces after he fell into a 55-feet deep hole.
