A man got trapped when he fell into a huge gap in a rock in a forest, in southern India's Telangana.

The incident reportedly happened at the Singarayapalem forest area in Ramareddy Mandal, Kamareddy district on December 13.

Visuals showed the rescue operation underway with efforts being made to pull the man, identified as Chada Raju from Reddypet village. Another man, from the rescue team, was seen descending into the gap in the hillock in an attempt to pull out Raju. Police officers stood at the spot as the man went into the gap. A cop was seen flashing a torchlight into the gap.


According to a report, Raju had gone hunting into the forest and his family members started searching for him after he didn't return even on Wednesday, December 14. They along with other villagers reportedly heard sounds from the gap in the huge rock and informed it to the police, who then started the rescue operation.

Kamareddy Superintendent of Police B Srinivas Reddy said that the rescue operation was being carried out by people who were removing the rocks in the area. Raju was also reportedly supplied with oxygen and liquid food inside the gap in the rock. The police are conducting the rescue with villagers' help, and the operation is still underway.
