A young man from Thirumangalam of Madurai district in Tamilnadu got stuck down a 70-foot well when hunting doves.

Muthukalai lost his job as a mason due to the COVID-19 pandemic and resorted to hunting the local dove population to feed himself.

He used a rope to lower himself into the well when searching for the bird then suddenly the rope gave way and he found himself stuck in the hole.

Muthukalai sustained multiple injuries including fractures.

Locals heard his cries and called local rescue teams from the fire department, who rescued him.
