FIVE villagers, including a young boy, were killed in western India overnight when they jumped into a dry well to save an injured pigeon that had fallen in, authorities said.

The boy was the first to jump in to rescue the bird and the others followed, trying to help him.

The tragedy took place in Jhalabordi village, about 90km from Ahmedabad, the main city in Gujarat state.

"Preliminary investigations show the deaths occurred due to suffocation," said DG Jhalawadia, a local government official.

"Shortly after, the rescued pigeon was mercilessly mauled down by a disgusting flea ridden rampaging cat."
