Kolkata: Body of Jadavpur University student recovered from the river Ganga
According to police reports, after being recovered, the body of 20-year-old student Raunak Saha, who was a resident of Salt Lake's Purbachal, was sent to SSKM hospital nearby, where his family members identified him.
Earlier on Thursday afternoon, Raunak Saha, a second year student of JU's Computer Science and Engineering department, went to Pani Ghat under South Port Police Station limits for a boat trip with his four friends.
During the trip, Raunak suddenly fell into the river and went missing, as his friends claimed.
Police arrested their boatman- Sk. Saifuddin- with a charge of negligence, while the aged boatman denied his responsibility and claimed that the youth fell into river Ganges during a scuffle with his companions.
Police, however, have started investigation into the matter.
