A six-year-old girl who had fallen into a 100-ft deep borewell in the district could not be saved despite seven days of rescue operation.
Police said Komal's body was taken out today through a parallel borewell dug by the rescue teams.
A board of two doctors, who were present on the spot, declaredher dead, they said.
The body will be handed over to the family members after post-mortem.
Komal was playing with her brother last week on Tuesday when she accidentally fell into the open borewell and stuck at depth of nearly 110 feet.
