Man Dies as Vehicle Falls into Well in Telangana; Alcohol and Distraction InvestigatedPreviousNext

A 28-year-old man, Dasari Arun, died after the Thar SUV he was driving plunged into an agricultural well in Morapalli village, Jagtial, Telangana, on Sunday night. Two passengers, Ashwin and Nivesh, escaped with injuries and were hospitalized. Police reported that the occupants had consumed alcohol, with blood alcohol levels above 200 for the survivors. The accident occurred on a narrow road during their return from a gathering, and authorities are investigating if they were watching the IPL final on a mobile device at the time. Rescue efforts lasted several hours due to difficulties in extracting Arun, who was trapped inside the submerged vehicle.
