Observer Online Report

A boy and a girl, drowned in a pond in Parbatipur upazila of Dinajpur on Friday (November 13).

The incident took place at Jagannathpur village under Belai Chandi Union of the upazila around noon.

The deceased were identified as Salman Shah, 4, and Israt Jahan Eva, 8. Salman son of Salman Shah, , while Eva was the daughter of Shahidul Islam. Both children were residents of Jagannathpur village and were cousins.

Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Parbatipur Model Police Station Abdul Wadud said, the two children somehow fell into a pond near their house while playing in the courtyard, apparently due to a lack of supervision by family members. They subsequently drowned.

Locals suspected that the girl had jumped into the pond to rescue her younger cousin after he fell into the water, but she also drowned.

Sub-Inspector (SI) of Parbatipur Police Station Nipen said neighbours initially spotted the body of one child floating in the pond. A search was later conducted, and the body of the other missing child was recovered.

A case of unnatural death has been filed with the police station over the incident, he added.
