His uncle, Babulal, and two neighbours, Ramrai and Atmaram, went into the well to save him. When all the four did not come out, their family members informed police,” a police official told IANS.
“During preliminary investigation, it has come to light that they were suffocated due to poisonous gases in the well,” the official said.
