00:00This incident happened yesterday, on 2nd August.
00:04We went to drop our child to school at 8 in the morning.
00:06It's our daily routine to drop our child to school in the morning.
00:09My husband and wife also go together.
00:11I also have a 4-year-old daughter.
00:13She also studies in the same school.
00:15When we go to drop our child to school,
00:18we drop our child in front of the school gate at 8 in the morning.
00:22As soon as I dropped my child in front of the school gate yesterday,
00:26my daughter was sitting behind me,
00:28and my son got down first.
00:30Sometimes my daughter also gets down first.
00:32As soon as my son got down and walked a few steps,
00:35my child fell into a pit.
00:37There was a mattress there,
00:39and a main hole was covered with that mattress.
00:42The child didn't know what was inside.
00:44As soon as the child fell inside, my wife said,
00:46Manoj, Jasmeet fell.
00:47I thought the child was asleep.
00:48When I ran, the child was in my pit.
00:50My wife held his hand,
00:52and half of my wife was in the pit,
00:54and as soon as we shouted,
00:57my wife got up and saved my child.
00:59Within 2-3 minutes,
01:01they took my child out of the pit.
01:03There was so much water in the pit,
01:05that more than half of my child was submerged in the water.
01:08The main holes on both sides of the pit were so big,
01:11that the child could have drowned.
01:13If it had rained yesterday,
01:15I wouldn't have been able to save my child.
01:18He held his hand,
01:20and stopped the child from drowning.
01:22People were very brave.
01:23I took my child out with them.
01:25I took my child out,
01:26gave him some water,
01:27and let him relax for a while.
01:28The police came in the meantime.
01:29We complained to the police,
01:31that this is how it is.
01:32Look, here is a main hole,
01:33which is covered with a mattress.
01:35The mattress was so light,
01:37that my child could not bear it.
01:38My child fell in it.
01:39Someone else, an elderly woman,
01:40anyone could have fallen in it.
01:41I go to drop my children myself,
01:44as a parent.
01:45There are a lot of children,
01:46who walk in school.
01:48If a small child had fallen in it,
01:50it would have been a big accident.
01:52No one gets it.
01:53I thank God,
01:54that my child was with me.
01:55This accident could have been a big one.
01:57People helped me.
01:58My child is safe now.
02:00After that, we took my child
02:01to the trauma center in Ames.
02:03My child was admitted in Ames for the whole day.
02:05All his tests were done there.
02:07Ultrasound, chest,
02:08CT scan, etc.
02:09Now my child is fine.
02:10He is out of danger.
02:11But he is injured.
02:12In his waist,
02:13in his legs,
02:14in his chest,
02:15and the child is scared.
02:16I got scared seeing that accident.
02:18That accident happened with my child.
02:20Because when he went inside the hole,
02:22it was completely dark.
02:23My child was in the water.
02:24He got scared and woke up 2-3 times in the night.
02:27Now he is fine.
02:28But sir,
02:29whoever is careless,
02:31because if the hole has been cleaned,
02:33or if the hole has been opened,
02:35the lid of the hole is still there.
02:37But still,
02:38they put a lid on the hole.
02:40They could have closed the lid.
02:42Was he waiting for something like this?
02:44So, I appeal to you,
02:47there must have been CCTV there.
02:49Whose mischief is this?
02:50Is it by mistake?
02:51Is it on purpose?
02:52Please check.
02:53This is a matter of investigation.
