According to Chhatarpur Superintendent of Police Agam Jain, “The incident occurred in Kurraha village under the Garhi Malhara police station area. Our teams are on-site, and all bodies have been sent for post-mortem. A case has been registered, and further investigation is ongoing.”

District hospital doctor Ashish Shukla reported that the well, approximately 10 to 12 feet deep, was the site where the victims fell unconscious. “One person fell inside, and others who attempted to rescue him also lost consciousness and died,” he said.
