A team from the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) was quickly dispatched to the scene to help locate the boy.
According to an official from the Hatigaon police station, the teenager jumped into the waterlogged drain following a heated dispute over money with his mother. "The boy demanded money, and when his request was denied, he acted out in distress and jumped into the drain," the official explained.
"After being in the drain for some time, the boy managed to come out from the other side and contacted a family member, telling them not to look for him", the official from Hatigaon police station informed GPlus.
However, the police eventually brought him to the station for questioning to understand the circumstances better.
