In a tragic incident, a woman in Madhya Pradesh’s Burhanpur district reportedly jumped into a well along with her four minor children, purportedly to die by suicide, but later climbed to safety with her eldest daughter, leaving her other three children to die, police said on Sunday.

According to a senior official, the incident happened in Baldi village of MP’s Burhanpur district when a woman, identified as 30-year-old Pramila Bhilala pushed her four children into a well before jumping in herself. However, after falling into the well, she feared for her life and climbed to safety along with her eldest daughter, with the help of rope hanging into the well, leaving behind her other three children including an 18-month-old son, and two daughters aged three and five respectively, to die.
