A sudden floor collapse in a Bhind residence sent a woman 16 feet down into a hidden cellar believed to be around a hundred years old.
A residential floor in Bhind, Madhya Pradesh, gave way unexpectedly, causing a woman to plunge about 16 feet into an underground chamber. The space, discovered beneath the house, is estimated to be roughly a century old, according to local residents who have lived in the area for generations.
Emergency services were alerted immediately and rescue teams arrived to extract the woman safely. Workers used ropes and ladders to reach the concealed cellar, and the woman was pulled out without serious injury, according to officials on site.
Local authorities have sealed the area pending a structural assessment. Investigators are examining how the aged cellar contributed to the collapse and whether any historical artifacts may be present, but no treasure has been confirmed at this stage.
