Guwahati, July 07: The body of an eight-year-old boy who had fallen into a drain amidst a flash flood in the Jyotinagar area of Guwahati on July 4, was recovered about 4 km downstream in the Rajgarh area of Guwahati on Sunday.

The body has been identified by his parents at Guwahati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), where it was taken after being retrieved on today.

Local sources said that the body was recovered by rescue agencies in Rajgarh area, more than four km downstream from hilly Jyotinagar, where the boy had fallen into the drain.

The parents initially identified the body on the basis of photographs shared with them, and later physically verified it at the GMCH morgue.

Abinash Sarkar is the son of Harilal Sarkar, a resident of Shyamnagar in Bhawanipur of the Noonmati area of Guwahati.

The boy was travelling with his father in a scooty at the time of the incident. There was a traffic jam in the area at the time of the incident.

Due to the traffic jam, his father took a shortcut route, which was also flooded up to the neck. The scooty suddenly slipped and the boy fell into the drain, which was open and not covered.

Assam chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had visited the search site on Saturday, and consoled the family, assuring all measures to find the missing boy.
