ARA----------------------------The body of an elderly man, who had drowned in the Son River near Khangaon within the district's Chandi police station area, was identified on the second day as a resident of Arwal. He was identified as Vijendra Sah, 60, son of the late Dashrath Singh, a resident of Babhanbigaha village in the Parasi police station area of ​​Arwal district. It is reported that the police recovered his body from the banks of the Son River near Khangaon on Saturday afternoon. Subsequently, a post-mortem examination was conducted on the unidentified body at the Sadar Hospital.

Meanwhile, the deceased's nephew, Santosh Kumar, stated that his uncle had traveled to his in-laws' home in Mahendranagar (within the Ranitalab police station area of ​​Patna district) on April 15. From there, also on April 15, he was traveling to Jalpura village (within the Chandi police station area) to visit his daughter, Jaswanti Devi, at her in-laws' residence. During this journey, he went to the banks of the Son River near Khangaon to relieve himself. There, he accidentally fell into the river and drowned, resulting in his death.

Late that evening, when family members called his daughter, Jaswanti Devi, to inquire whether her father had arrived, she informed them that he had not. Shortly thereafter, they received information that the police had recovered the body of an unidentified man from the banks of the Son River. The family members then rushed to the Sadar Hospital, where they identified the body upon seeing it. Subsequently, they took his body back to their village to perform the final rites.

The surviving members of the deceased's family include his wife, Sheela Devi; three daughters—Mamta Devi, Shanti Devi, and Jaswanti Devi; and two sons—Nagendra Sah and Shailendra Sah. Following the incident, chaos has erupted at the deceased's home. In the wake of this tragedy, the deceased's wife, Sheela Devi, and all other family members are inconsolable with grief.
