On hearing the girl’s cries, her parents rushed to the spot and tried to bend the steel structures, but despite their efforts the child’s head was unable to be freed.

Keerthan and her parents, hailing from Sirukumi village, were on their way to Tirupathi when the incident took place, they said.
The entire operation took about one hour,police said.
