10 days after she fell into a borewell in Rajasthan, 3-year-old girl declared dead
The child, who was pulled out in an unconscious condition, was declared dead after she was taken to a local hospital. This comes after five failed attempts to pull her out, with rain and inclement weather further delaying the process.

National Disaster Response Force Chief Yogesh Meena told the media that rescuers had drilled a parallel hole in the ground to pull out the girl’s unconscious body. The child, who fell on December 23, was found at 6:25 pm. “We have put 30 officials of NDRF on work to get the girl out of safety,” he said.
The girl was brought dead to Kotputli’s BDM Hospital, its principal medical officer Chaitanya Rawat said.
“The girl was moved into an emergency ward, where a team of specially assigned doctors conducted a medical checkup. We have moved the body to the mortuary. The district collector has given us permission to do a postmortem at night. The time of death will be clear only after that,” he told reporters.
This comes after five failed attempts to pull her out, with rain and inclement weather further delaying the process.
This is the second such incident in a month — on December 11, a 5-year-old who fell into a 150-feet deep borewell in the state’s Dausa district was pulled out by rescuers after three days but he was declared dead on arrival when taken to a hospital.
