Hosapete (Vijayanagar district): A French tourist who slipped and fell down from a hillock near ‘Ashtabhuja’ pond in Hampi, has been rescued after two days.
On the evening of December 24, Bruno Roger (52) attempted to climb the hillock but fell off into an isolated spot.
He sustained grievous injuries on his leg and became immobile. After lying at the spot for two days, he crawled to a nearby banana plantation where local farmers noticed him and informed the police. The police and the officials of the Archaeological Survey of India admitted the tourist to Koppal hospital.
Police said that Roger had come alone from France and was staying at a homestay in Kaddirampura. He is said to be out of danger.
