On Saturday, a vehicle driven by four young men plunged into a 40‑foot deep well in the Nipania Jaat locality of Bhopal. The well, filled with water, swallowed the car and left the occupants trapped. Local residents rushed to the scene and helped the youths break the car’s windows. Using the broken glass as a makeshift flotation device, the four men swam to the surface and were rescued by emergency teams. The rescue operation lasted approximately two and a half hours, during which the vehicle was also hauled out of the well. No injuries were reported, and authorities are investigating the incident.
