The borewell is one of the five dug around the roadways colony by the Kanpur Developing Authority (KDA). The borewells weren’t allegedly closed after the work related to soil testing was over.

Allegedly, the toddler had crawled and slipped into the hole. Khushi and her mother were in Kanpur for some treatment and were staying at their relative’s home in a nearby colony.
