Tragic Drowning Incident Claims Three Lives in Saryu River

A tragic incident unfolded on Monday in Uttar Pradesh's Deoria district when three young men, including two brothers, drowned while bathing in the Saryu river.

According to officials, the victims – Pradeep (24), Rohit (21), and Bunty (20) – had traveled from Gorakhpur to visit their maternal grandfather in Barhaj. The ill-fated event occurred at Thana Ghat when the trio mistakenly ventured into deep waters.

Locals and boatmen present at the location quickly pulled the men from the river and transported them to the Barhaj Community Health Centre, where tragically, all were pronounced dead. The bodies have since been sent for autopsy.
