“Residents of Reddypuram Kovelakunta in Hanumakonda were taken aback today after discovering what they initially believed to be a dead body floating in the local pond,” wrote X user Sudhakar Udumula, who shared the video. From 7 a.m. to 12 p.m., the man—later identified as a quarry worker from Kavali in the Nellore District—was discovered lifeless in the water.
On X, the video has gotten almost 4 million views. The man was reportedly a quarry worker taking a break by floating in the pond.
Police from Kakatiya University arrived at the scene and dragged him out after residents thought it was a corpse and reported this to them. To their surprise, though, the man awakened and emerged from the water.
He claimed to have been working at a granite quarry for ten days straight when questioned. The man, worn out from his 12-hour duty, chose to swim in the pond, but he quickly passed out.
But when locals realized he had been floating still for more than five hours, they became alarmed by his presence.
