Hyderabad, May 16 -- A 53-year-old man died after falling into a borewell in Telangana's Nalgonda district while attempting to rescue his four-year-old grandson, who had accidentally fallen in earlier on Saturday, May 16.

The incident occurred at around 9:20 am in the Yadhagiripalli village, Miryalaguda mandal, when Utlapalli Shivaru fell into the borewell near an agricultural field. His grandfather, Venkan, also the village's Deputy Sarpanch, immediately rushed to save him.

Addressing the media, Sarpanch Srinivas Reddy said, "Venkan and Shivaru were watering the field when Shivaru slipped into the borewell due to the high pressure of the water. Venkan also slipped into it while rescuing Shivaru."
