Later, the boy talking to Zee Media in the hospital said that he had biscuits after being recused.


Following are the details of how he was rescued safely:


- He was rescued around 10.45 on Saturday night, Dewas district Superintendent of Police Anshuman Singh had said.


- Roshan had fallen into an uncovered borewell while playing in a field in the village around 11 am on Saturday.


- As an Army team was roped in to rescue him, a race against time began as he was stuck 30 feet below the surface.


- He was given fluids through a pipe and oxygen was pumped into the borewell.


- Throughout the operation, his parents kept talking to Roshan and he responded.


- The rescuers had earlier planned to pull him out by digging a parallel trench and then connecting it with the borewell through a tunnel, the SP had said.


- The trench was dug, but soon they realised that the rescue in this way will take much longer, which could be fatal for the boy.


- Then, changing the tack, a rope with a noose was dropped into the borewell, and the boy was asked to tighten the noose around his arm so that he could be pulled out.


- The boy followed the instructions and was then pulled out successfully.


- He was fine and taken to a nearby hospital for a check-up.
