A teenaged boy fell into the well on Tuesday night. Some people climbed down the well to rescue him and others stood on the surrounding parapet to help them.
According to local residents, the parapet collapsed under the weight of the people and all of them fell into the well. The well is about 50 feet deep and has water up to 20 feet.
Thereafter, a tractor deployed for the rescue operation skidded into the well with four policemen.
State ministers Vishvas Sarang and Govind Singh Rajput had been monitoring the rescue work at the spot.
