The incident took place at a Jain derasara located in Gajraj Society situated in Chandlodiya area, where the family works as gardeners. According to officials, the 19-year-old daughter, Anjali, accidentally fell into the borewell. Upon learning about the incident, her father, 45-year-old Rajesh Saini, jumped into the borewell in an attempt to save her.
