DMK worker falls into well, saved by cops

Inspector Jawahar Peter of the Washermenpet police station on Thursday rescued DMK worker I Jayakumar, 44, who fell into a 20ft deep well near the Guindy all-woman police station. Jayakumar along with other DMK workers had gathered there to protest against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit.
Washermenpet deputy commissioner of police Sashank Sai and his team were waiting at the spot to apprehend the protesters when this incident took place.

Police said Jayakumar, a corporation conservancy worker, was standing on a slab above a well. The slab gave way due to his weight causing him to fall.

Within seconds, Peter jumped into the well to help the victim. Sub-inspector Mohammad Buhari of the Tondiarpet police and head constable Krishnan dropped a rope into the well, which Jawahar tied around Jayakumar.

The police with the help of the DMK workers pulled him up. They then dropped the rope yet again to pull up the brave inspector. The party workers commended the police for their efforts.
