A two-year-old girl was rescued Wednesday after spending 27 hours trapped inside a narrow well outside the Indian capital of New Delhi.
Video footage from the scene showed a man emerge carrying the girl, named Vandana.
She fell 45 feet into the uncovered well while playing Tuesday night in a village near Agra, a northern Indian city outside New Delhi. The girl was being taken to a hospital.
Earlier, India's army was called in to help, and rescuers dug a parallel well to tunnel into where Vandana was trapped. Officials said the girl frequently asked for fruits and sweets, which was sent to her with the help of a rope. Oxygen was also pumped inside the well through tubes to prevent any suffocation.
