A devastating incident occurred in the Amleshwar police station area where two minors tragically drowned in the Khairun River. On Wednesday, six friends were enjoying a swim when the accident happened. Two youths were caught in the strong current and whirlpool. On Thursday, the SDRF team successfully recovered the body of a 16-year-old minor. The search for the second minor, who is 15 years old, is still ongoing.
The deceased, Ashish Saroj, a resident of Bajrang Nagar, went for a swim with five friends from Jamraw village. During the swim, Ashish and his friend Yashwant Harpal were pulled under by the swift river currents. The other friends quickly sought help, notifying the authorities, but they were unable to save the drowning individuals.
The SDRF team conducted an overnight rescue operation involving deep diving techniques, lasting for eight hours. Unfortunately, they were initially unsuccessful in finding the missing individuals. This morning, experienced divers Indrapal Yadav and Rajkumar Yadav found Ashish’s body after two hours of intense search, and handed it over to the police. The search for Yashwant continues.
The police have sent Ashish’s body to the Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital in Supela for a post-mortem examination. The incident has deeply saddened the village and the families of the victims.
