Gwalior: A three-year-old boy who had fallen into a 150-feet deep borewell at Sultanpur Kheria village in Gwalior of Madhya Pradesh on Friday has been declared dead by doctors.

The boy, identified as Abhay Pachouri, was rescued a short while ago and was taken to a hospital, where doctors confirmed his death. The rescue operations were intensified this morning after a snake was spotted in the same borewell.

A snake was also seen via the camera which had been lowered into the borewell to keep a watch on the child.

The boy had slipped into the borewell and had got stuck at the depth of nearly 25 feet in the borewell in an agricultural field in the village. As his grandmother raised alarm, locals rushed to help them. Soon, the police and administration were alerted and the Border Security Force personnel were called in to take charge of the operation.

Rescuers had dug a parallel hole near the borewell and managed to pull him out after over 20 hours. He was rushed to a hospital where he was declared dead.
