But it had a miraculous escape from the cradle he slept in, blew away along with the roof of the house. The winds at Venganoor in Thiruvananthapuram were so strong that the asbestos roof of the house of Kumar and Sheeba blew away.

The cradle too blew away but it etched on the coconut tree adjacent to the house and the baby has survived.

Sheeba was playing with her two children in the house when the shocking incident took place. She cried out horrified with what just happened and the villagers came to the rescue of baby Vinayak. After rescuing, the child was immediately rushed to the hospital for examination but it was relieving for the parents to know that the child had not even a single injury.
