A devastating incident in the Dumka district of Jharkhand claimed the lives of four young friends who ventured into the Mayurakshi River. The students, identified as Krishna Singh, Aryan Kumar, Krish, and Aryan Thakur, all between the ages of 16 and 17, went for a swim on Thursday evening. Due to heavy rainfall, the river’s water level had risen significantly, and the current became treacherous. The friends, unaware of the danger, entered the water and were swept away by the strong current. Local divers recovered the bodies after an extensive search operation, which took several hours. The incident caused widespread grief and shock in the community, with families mourning the tragic loss of the four students. This event serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by swollen rivers, especially during monsoon season. Authorities have cautioned the public to avoid entering rivers with high water levels due to the inherent risks involved.
