Body of Missing Girl Found in Raichur Canal, Search On for Brother
In a tragic turn of events, the body of a young girl who went missing earlier this week was discovered in a canal in Raichur district, Karnataka. The search operation, which had been ongoing since the girl’s disappearance, was finally successful, but it has now taken a devastating turn as officials fear that her brother may have also lost his life in the same incident.
The girl, identified as Anjali, was just 10 years old and belonged to a family in Budadinni village. She was reported missing on Wednesday evening, sparking a massive search operation involving local police, villagers, and even divers from the nearby town of Raichur.
According to reports, Anjali and her brother, who is around 12 years old, had gone to play near the Rajalabanda canal, which runs through the village. Their parents had given them permission to play outside, but they failed to return home by the evening, raising suspicions among the villagers.
An investigation was launched immediately, and police officers combed the area, speaking to locals and examining the canal for any signs of the missing siblings. On Friday morning, a team of divers was sent to the canal to search for any bodies. It was around 10 am when they made the grim discovery – Anjali’s body was floating in the water, just a few meters from the canal’s edge.
The news of Anjali’s body being found sent shockwaves through the village, with her family and neighbors in a state of distress and grief. The police have launched an investigation into the incident, and officials are now working to determine the circumstances surrounding the children’s disappearance and Anjali’s tragic death.
The search for Anjali’s brother continues, with police and rescue teams scouring the canal and surrounding areas for any signs of him. However, officials fear that he too may have drowned, given the suspicions that the children may have accidentally slipped into the canal while playing.
Raichur District Superintendent of Police, K.V. Sharath Chandra, confirmed the discovery of Anjali’s body and said that the search for her brother was ongoing. “We are doing our best to locate the brother and bring him back to his family,” he said in a statement.
The incident has sent a wave of shock and sadness through the community, with locals and authorities urging parents to be more vigilant and aware of their children’s whereabouts, especially in areas prone to accidents such as canals and rivers.
As the investigation continues, the police and rescue teams are working tirelessly to locate Anjali’s brother and bring him to safety. In the meantime, the village is coming together to mourn the loss of a young life and offer support to the grieving family.
