Howrah (West Bengal), June 25: Rescuers today pulled out the body of the youth who fell into a well in West Bengal's Howrah district, more than 10 and half hours after he fell into the well.


Rausan Ali Mondal, a mason by profession, slipped and fell into the 30-feet deep well at Eksara village in Howrah district at around 3.30 PM yesterday. Sadly this incident happened, just a few hours after rescuers pulled out the body of four-year-old Mahi from a deep borewell in Haryana where she was trapped for the last four days.


West Bengal Disaster Management and Fire Services minister Javed Khan, who supervised the operations, said some local well diggers along with disaster management and Fire Brigade personnel pulled out the body from the well at around 2 am and rushed to Howrah State General Hospital where doctors declared the youth 'brought dead'.


The minister said a postmortem would be carried out. Khan said the rescue team had taken the help of close circuit cameras and advice of metro engineers to locate the body in the narrow well.


The Fire minister dismissed complaints of late response by fire brigade personnel and the disaster management team in reaching the spot after the incident.


"No it (late response) is not true. It is the creation of the media. The fire brigade personnel reached the spot within 15 to 20 minutes after the distress call received from the Howrah district administration at 04.35 pm," Khan told reporters.

May 11: Two youths allegedly gang-raped a teen and then hacked to death her 11-year old brother, who had seen their act, in a bid to hide their crime, at a village in Uttar Pradesh's Etah district, about 300 kilometres from here.

Police sources said that two youths, resident of the same village, barged into the house of the teen, when she was alone, and allegedly gang-raped her.

The victim's minor brother suddenly came into the house and protested after he witnessed his sister being sexually assaulted, sources said. The youths allegedly strangled the minor with a towel.

The alleged culprits, who hailed from influential families, 'forced' the victim's parents to bury their son and warned them against approaching the cops.

The parents, however, gathered courage and met senior police officials in Etah on Sunday after a case was registered in this regard. Police said that the body of the minor would be exhumed and a postmortem examination would be conducted.
