In a bizarre incident, early on Monday, a man died after falling in the well in Bazarpeth area in Kalyan. Fire Brigade personnel, who were called to rescue the person, did not enter it and allegedly waited three hours for a scuba diver to arrive and retrieve the body.

According to Mid-Day, the locals from the area have alleged that they heard an unidentified person screaming for help from the well, after which they called the fire brigade. The cops have said that a 30-year-old fell into the help and was screaming for help. They have claimed that the fire brigade waited for three hours for a scuba diver to arrive. But the person who had fallen in the well had died by then.

“We called the Fire Brigade after we heard a person scream from inside the well. But fire officials did not have the equipment for his rescue. So, they waited for a scuba diver to come and help,” a local resident, Jayesh Singh, said. The resident had shot a video in which it was seen that the fire personnel had only a rope without a harness for the rescuer, or for the body.
