According to reports, Yuvraj, a Class 11 student, had arrived at the river along with his friends at around 6:00 a.m. Witnesses said he was making a video near the river when he suddenly slipped into deep water and disappeared.
As soon as the incident was reported, police and SDRF personnel rushed to the spot and launched a rescue operation. Despite continuous efforts throughout the day, no trace of the teenager had been found at the time of reporting.
Family members, friends, and local residents gathered at the riverbank, anxiously awaiting updates.
