Belagavi (Karnataka), April 22 (IANS) A six-year-old girl slipped into an open borewell in a village in Karnataka's Belagavi district on Saturday, said a police official.

"The girl, Kaveri slipped into the open borewell and is stuck at about 30 feet depth," Belagavi Superintendent of Police Ravikanthe Gowda told reporters.

The incident at Jhunjarawadi village in Athani taluk of the district occurred late in the evening when Kaveri was playing with her friends near the dry borewell.
