A post-mortem examination is scheduled to take place today for Kushal Kumar and Sandeep Narayan from Navatu, Rakiraki, whose recent fishing trip resulted in a tragic outcome. The pair set out for a kayak fishing expedition on Saturday night but did not return as expected the following morning, which raised concerns among their families.
Following the alarm raised by their loved ones, a joint search operation was quickly initiated. The endeavor led to the discovery of their kayak washed ashore in the waters near Navatu on Sunday morning. Unfortunately, the body of Kumar, believed to be in his late twenties, was recovered that afternoon. His brother-in-law, Narayan, was located the following day after ongoing search efforts by local police and community members.
This incident serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of water activities and the importance of safety measures while engaging in such adventures. The local community has expressed deep sorrow over the loss, underscoring a collective sense of mourning for the families affected by this tragic event.
