A tense night in Bihar ended with relief as three-year-old Piyush Kumar was safely rescued after falling into a 280-foot-deep borewell while playing near his mother in Gaya.

Afterward, he was taken to the local health center for a checkup and is under observation, just to be sure he's okay.
The whole incident is a reminder of how risky open borewells can be, especially for kids playing nearby.
