Kolkata man dies after falling into well while taking bath

A 30-year-old man died on Friday after allegedly falling into a well inside the compound of his house while taking a bath, police said.

The deceased was identified as Bapi Sarkar, a resident of Basdroni's Sonali Park area, they said.

Personnel of Kolkata Police DGM, along with sleuths of a local police station and fire department, tried to fish out Sarkar's body but even after seven hours of several attempts they failed to recover it, a senior officer of the Kolkata Police said.

"The man was suffering from epilepsy for a long time. This afternoon he somehow reportedly fell into the well while taking a bath," he said
