Bhopal: A five-year-old boy fell into a recently dug 200-feet deep borewell at Barahbujurg village in Madhya Pradesh’s Niwadi district on Wednesday.

“The boy, identified as Prahlad, son of Harikishan Kushwaha, fell into the borewell when labourers were putting a pipe casing in it,” Prithvipur police station in-charge Narendra Tripathi was quoted as saying by PTI.

“The borewell has water in it up to 100 feet from the ground, hence is not clear at what depth the child is stuck inside,” he added. Rescue operation is underway.
