  • Villagers quickly lowered a bucket into the well, rescuing the baby who had swallowed water but stayed afloat due to her diaper.
  • Rajeshwari Rathore, a nurse, performed CPR and cleared water from the baby's mouth, reviving her at the scene.
  • The infant is now stable and improving in a private hospital ICU, with her father Arvind Rathore crediting the nurse and diaper for her survival.
