A migrant worker who claimed to be from West Bengal was rescued from inside a drain on Saturday by fire force personnel, though the circumstances surrounding how he got there remain a mystery.

The migrant worker claimed that he was trapped inside the drain for the last couple of days by some magician.

"There is something suspicious and mysterious about how he got inside it. There is no open manhole or slab nearby from where he could have entered or fallen inside the drain. He is claiming that he was put inside it by magic by some magician," a fire force official said.

The man's presence inside the drain was noticed by a passerby who saw a hand being stretched out through a small opening in the drain, the official said. Subsequently, the fire force was informed and personnel from the department reached the spot to rescue him.
