According to the information received, Sugandha had gone fishing in Triveni Canal on Thursday evening. Meanwhile, suddenly a huge crocodile attacked him.

The administration has appealed to the villagers to exercise complete caution if they do not go to the canals and banks of the Gandak river. After the incident, the family members are in bad condition and crying.
