Migrant worker rescued from Kerala drain, claims he was trapped there by a magician

A migrant worker, reportedly from West Bengal, was rescued from a drain in Kozhikode, Kerala, on Saturday after being trapped for several days. Adding a bizarre twist to the incident, the man claimed he was held captive by a magician. Fire force personnel pulled him out after a passerby noticed his hand emerging from a small drain opening. The rescued man told responders that a magician had trapped him, a claim that has left officials puzzled. "There is something suspicious and mysterious about how he got inside it," one fire force official stated. "He is claiming that he was put inside it by magic by some magician." Investigators are perplexed by the lack of an open manhole or nearby slab from which he could have entered or fallen. The man was reportedly wearing only trousers. A hydraulic machine was used to lift a drain slab to facilitate the rescue. Despite the successful rescue, the circumstances surrounding his predicament remain unclear, with officials continuing to investigate how he became trapped in the first place.
