Vijayapura (Karnataka): An incident took place today where a two-year-old boy slipped and fell into the borehole of a farm in Lachyana village of Indi taluk of the district. A boy named Saatvik Mujagonda (2) got stuck in a Borewell. The Indi Rural Police is visiting the place and conducting an investigation.
It is understood that the boy is the son of Satish Mujagonda and Pooja Mujagonda. Sources said that Satish had drilled a borewell in his four-acre land because there was no water for sugarcane and lemon crops.
