Jyoti Sahu, MP Tanmay’s mother, stated, “Give me my child, whatever it may be; would it have taken so long if it was the child of a leader or an officer?”

“So much time has passed, and they’re still not saying anything, or even letting me see.

“My 12-year-old daughter saw him sliding into the borewell and notified me about the tragedy. We immediately raced to the scene. He was breathing and we listened to his voice as we enquired. The rescue operation began at 6 p.m. on December 6,” Sunil Sahu said.

“Tanmay is a Class 3 student. The children of his school, including teachers, chanted Gayatri Mantra for his safety. The teachers and students have prayed to God that Tanmay comes out safely from the borewell. Tanmay is an intelligent student. His safety will be the victory of all of us,” Tanmay’s teacher, Geeta Mankar, said.

The rescue mission lasted 86 hours

Work to rescue Tanmay began at the local administration level. Later, the NDRF and SDRF teams took responsibility of the rescue operation. A tunnel near the borewell was built to preserve Tanmay. Tanmay was then taken out on Saturday morning. Tanmay was sent to the hospital, but he died there. Tanmay’s death has created a gloomy atmosphere in the family.
