In a heartbreaking incident in Rajasthan’s Dholpur district on Sunday morning, three sisters drowned in a pond while trying to rescue their brother, who had fallen into the deep water.
The tragedy took place in Dhaundh Birja village, which falls under the Angai police station area of Dholpur. As news of the incident spread, a large number of villagers gathered at the spot and informed the police about the tragedy. With help from local divers and personnel from the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), the police recovered all four bodies from the water.
All four members of the family lost their lives. The deaths of four people from the same family left the entire village in shock and plunged their relatives into deep grief. The family had come near the village to visit the Hiraman Baba Temple, dedicated to a local folk deity, to mark the occasion of Dauj, a festival observed after Raksha Bandhan. Seeing Bholu struggling, his sisters Manorama and Boto, along with their cousin Nisha, immediately jumped in to try and save him. But the high water level and the depth of the pond meant the three women also drowned.Family members were left horrified when they learned that all four had fallen into the pond. The bodies were then taken to the government hospital in Sarmathura, where postmortems were carried out in the presence of family members.
