Hyd: 18-month-old declared dead, body flushed out in pieces from borewell

Telangana: After more than 60 hours of rescue operation, 18-month-old Chinnari who slipped into a 400 ft. borewell on Thursday was flushed out dead on Sunday morning.

Officials declared that the child was dead and since all rescue techniques failed, they used the flushing out technique to retrieve her body. But, due to the pressure exerted with the technique, her body was flushed out in pieces.

The flushed out body parts were gathered in a plastic container and shifted to autopsy, following which her body parts were taken to her native village in Yalal in Rangareddy district.

"She is declared dead...We called off the rescue operation at 6 am after the remains were retrieved," Cyberabad Police Commissioner Sandeep Shandilya was quoted as saying by PTI.

Chinnari the younger daughter of Yadaiah and Renuka, a farm labour migrated to Chevell accidentally slipped into the abandoned borewell on Thursday while she, along with her sister Akshitha was playing near the borewell, as her parents were busy in their work.

After the girl fell into the borewell, a parallel trench was dug along the hole with the help of earth excavating machines even as the rocky area and rains had hampered the rescue work.

High-tech sensitive cameras were deployed to locate the girl and oxygen was continuously pumped in the borewell.

Apart from police, the fire department, National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) personnel and a team of ONGC officials were also involved in the rescue operation.

A team of doctors and ambulance was also deployed at the spot.

The Cyberabad police on Saturday registered a case against the land owner, Malla Reddy, under IPC section 336 (act endangering life or personal safety of others).
