A biker en route to Delhi fell into an open well while following Google Maps directions late at night, an incident that was caught on camera and has since surfaced on social media. The video shows the moment of the rescue carried out by patrolling police personnel in near-total darkness.

Dramatic Rescue

The video shows the scene illuminated only by mobile phone flashlights. Two patrolling policemen are seen standing at the edge of the well, carefully assessing the situation as they coordinate the rescue operation. The depth of the well is visible in the flashlight beams, highlighting the danger involved.

In the video, the biker is seen being pulled up using a makeshift rope fashioned from a muffler or scarf tied together. The officers are seen holding the fabric tightly, working in coordination as the man clings on. His upper body slowly comes out over the edge of the well before he is dragged to safety.

Victim rescued

Once out of the well, the man is helped onto the ground. He appears visibly shaken but does not show any serious injuries in the video. Voices can be heard in the background in Hindi, likely the policemen reassuring him and coordinating the final moments of the rescue.
