Uncle and Son-in-law Swept Away in Hyderabad’s Afzal Sagar Drain; Rescue Teams Recover One Body from Musi River in Nalgonda
Hyderabad: The body of Arjun, who was swept away during the heavy rain from Asifnagar on September 14, was found nearly 80 km away in the Musi river at Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district’s Valigonda, according to the police. Arjun, 26 was trying to retrieve a folding bed from the water when he was washed away.
His nephew Ramu jumped in to assist him and was also washed away. The search still continues for Ramu. Officials said that though the strong currents and large distances make the operation extremely difficult, they will continue their efforts in the hope of finding him.
Officials were also looking for Dinesh who was swept away at Vinobhanagar in Musheerabad on the same day.
On Thursday, Valigonda locals and HYDRAA’s Disaster Response Force staffers spotted a body floating in the water at the river’s confluence point. They retrieved the body, and later identified it as Arjun. After the post-mortem, his body was handed over to his grieving family.
