Chhattisgarh: 3 children fall into well while plucking fruits from tree, drown
Raipur (PTI): Three children from a family in Chhattisgarh's Raipur district fell into a well while plucking fruits from a tree and drowned, police said on Monday.
The incident took place on Sunday in Charauda village under Arang police station limits, an official said.
Prima facie, it seems the children -- an eight-year-old girl, her five-year-old brother and their cousin aged four -- were plucking guavas from a tree adjacent to the well in the vegetable garden of their house, he said.
While they were climbing on the tree, its branch broke and the children fell into the well, the official said.
When their grandmother found a net cover on the open well broken and snapped branch of the tree lying there, she alerted other family members, the official said.
Later, the three bodies were fished out from the well, he said.
After being alerted, a police team reached the spot and the bodies were handed over to the relatives after post mortem, the official said.
An accidental death report has been registered and further probe is on into the incident, he added.
