In a rescue attempt that had a devastating end, a family of five all died one after the other after jumping into an abandoned well to save a pet cat.
The five men lost their lives on Tuesday night after piling into a well that was reportedly used as a biogas pit containing animal waste in Wadki village, Maharashtra, India.
According to local media, the cat had fallen into the large well at around 5pm while members of the Kale family entered the poisonous space in a bid to rescue the feline.

The victims have been identified as Manik Kale, 65, Manik's son Sandeep, 36, Anil Kale, 53, Anil's son Bablu, 28, and Babasaheb Gaikwad, 36.
