Man goes to sleep in manhole
Kolkata: A deranged man on Thursday went down a manhole and slept there before being lured with the promise of bread to come out.
The man, who later gave his name as Keshav, was spotted by people entering the manhole naked at around 3:00 pm.
The police and fire brigade arrived after being alerted, but they could not find him as he had crept into a sewer connecting two manholes and had fallen asleep.
"The manhole, where the man entered, is connected through a sewer with another manhole 30 metres away. The man was sleeping in the sewer and so we could not find him," officer-in-charge, Hastings police station, Ashoke Banerjee said.
Keshav, who first refused to come out, later agreed after being given bread to eat, Banerjee said.
He was immediately rushed to hospital.
He said that he was very ‘annoyed’ with the police for having ‘disturbed’ his sleep.
