The deceased has been identified as Shivashankar Sahu of Ganjam, sources said.<\/p>\n
The pet cat of a resident in Patia area of the city somehow fell into a well today morning. The owner of the cat could not rescue the animal even though he tried a lot by using a bucket tied to a rope, sources said.<\/p>\n
Sibashankar, an ice cream vendor, volunteered himself to rescue the cat. He entered into the well but did not come out for a long time. Suspecting something unpleasant, Shankar Das, another person from the locality, went into the well, sources added.<\/p>\n
Shivashankar\u2019s elder brother Bhajaram too entered into the well after Shankar did not come out for quite some time.<\/p>\n
Bhajaram rescued Shankar in a critical condition but he could not trace Shivashankar in the well. On being informed, the Fire Brigade personnel reached the spot and received Shivashankar\u2019s body from the well.<\/p>\n
Shankar was rushed to a private hospital. His condition is stated to be serious.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
