Chotu could not be saved despite their best efforts and the team of rescuers finally managed to pull the body out of the borewell through a special hook, Karauli SP, Amandeep Singh Kapoor, said.

Chotu had fallen in the borewell on August 7 while playing near it at Khyarada village of Karauli about 155 kilometres from Jaipur. The body was stuck at a depth close to 150 feet, the police official said.

Digging near the borewell was started with the help of earthmovers and diggers but the rescue work got affected due to rain, Kapoor said.
