RIP Sujith Wilson
Sujith Wilson, a two years old toddler from Tamil Nadu's Tiruchirappalli died after being stuck in borewell for 80 hours. His decomposed body was recovered in the wee hours on Tuesday. Sujith had fallen into the borewell on October 25 while playing near his house at approx 5:30 PM. He was trapped at around 26 feet deep in the borewell. Further attempts to pull him using rope caused him to fall to a depth of 88 feet.
Despite prayers from across the country, the toddler couldn't be saved. There are several who claim the ''trial and error'' approach by the state government as the reason behind the death. For uninitiated, Tamil Nadu's Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam was personally monitoring the rescue operations.
