According to villagers, the toilet pit and nearby area were filled with rainwater due to incessant downpour.

When the girl’s parents realised that their child is missing, they began a frantic search for her along with the villagers, according to the police.

Later, a local resident found the girl’s toys near the pit site and alerted her family members.

Villagers rescued the girl from the pit and rushed to a hospital where she was pronounced dead before admission.
