In a distressing turn of events, a 21-year-old B.Tech student from NIT Uttarakhand has gone missing in the Alaknanda river. Officials have identified the student as Anand Mohan, a promising third-year scholar hailing from Hyderabad.
The incident took place on Sunday around 4 pm near the NIT grounds, where Mohan was reportedly enjoying an afternoon near the river with three friends. According to his companions, the young man jumped into the river from a small elevation but tragically vanished beneath the waters.
