A boy falls into an open drain on a waterlogged street in Panipat and is pulled out, caught on CCTV

What Happened

CCTV in Ward 3 of Panipat, Haryana, recorded a young schoolboy falling into an open drain beside a waterlogged road near the Devi Mandir, where roadwork had been left half done for months. The drain was described as about 7 to 10 feet deep. He was pulled out within moments. Reports differ on who lifted him: one names his father, others say passers-by or one man. He was said to be unhurt. Residents say a woman fell into the same drain a few months earlier and want it covered.
