Komal Meena Komal MeenaEight days after she had fallen into a borewell near her home in Alwar, six-year-old Komal Meena’s body was retrieved Wednesday evening, about 191 hours later, in perhaps the longest such operation of its kind. “We retrieved her body at 4 pm Wednesday. A postmortem was conducted on the spot by a medical board team and the body was handed over to the family,” Rajgarh Sub Divisional Officer Sudarshan Tomar said. Komal was stuck at a depth of around 100 feet in the 900-foot deep borewell. Rescue personnel manually dug up the borewell to reach the minor, however, at a slow pace.
