A tragic incident occurred in Gopalpura village under Kalyanpura police station limits in Indore on Tuesday, where a 12-year-old girl drowned after allegedly falling into a well while fetching water. The victim has been identified as Shivani Makwana.
Incident Details
According to police reports, Shivani had gone to the well with her elder sister to collect water. While she was drawing water, she reportedly lost her balance and slipped into the well. Villagers expressed concern that the well lacked a protective boundary wall, which made it prone to such accidents.
Rescue Efforts
As soon as Shivani fell, her sister rushed home to alert family members. A large number of villagers gathered at the spot and began rescue operations. They installed a pump to drain water from the well. After nearly three hours of continuous efforts, the girl was brought out, but unfortunately, she had already died.
Police Response
Upon receiving information about the incident, a Dial-112 team and Kalyanpura police reached the scene. The body was sent to the district hospital for postmortem examination. Police have recorded the death and initiated an inquiry into the circumstances. They are investigating whether adequate safety measures were in place at the well and if any negligence contributed to the tragedy.
