The incident took place on Monday afternoon when Aryan suddenly fell into an open borewell near his home. Reports suggest that there were no safety measures in place around the borewell. The family immediately alerted the local administration about the incident.

In response, Deputy SP Charul Gupta and Dausa MLA DC Bairwa arrived at the scene to oversee the rescue efforts. The administration prioritised the operation by deploying two JCB machines to excavate the area around the borewell.

Pipes are being used to supply oxygen inside the borewell to ensure the child's safety.

The incident recalls a similar tragedy in Barmer on November 20, when a 4-year-old child died after falling into an open borewell despite several hours of rescue attempts. Local residents and Aryan’s family members are gathered at the site, praying for his safe return.
