Three Teenagers Drown While Bathing in Narmada River at JabalpurPreviousNext

Three teenagers—Sheikh Sahil (19), Moin Khan (16), and Sheikh Ashik (15)—drowned while bathing in the Narmada river at Dadda Ghat in Jabalpur. One began to drown near a water supply plant in a deep part of the river, and the other two drowned attempting to rescue him. Local bystanders were unable to save them. Police recovered the bodies after a two-hour search and registered a case of unnatural deaths, with post-mortem examinations underway.
