Earlier, Ruel went missing while fishing in the Farangpara Battala Zero Point area of ​​Sadar Union of the upazila on Tuesday (October 8) afternoon. Ruel Richis is the son of Anut Sangma, a tribal farmer of Dahapara village in the same union.
According to local sources, the water from the hills coming down from the upstream rises in Someswari river. As the water in the river has decreased for a few days, four friends along with Ruel went fishing in the river last Tuesday afternoon. At one point, Ruel fell into a sand pit. Hearing his screams, three friends who were with him went to rescue him and they also fell into the pit. At that time, Alamin, a local resident, saw the matter from the shore and quickly brought a boat to rescue the three people, but Ruel was swept away by the current.
After the locals informed the administration and the fire service, the diving team of the fire service from Mymensingh started the rescue operation that evening. But they failed to rescue in two days. Locals found Ruel's body floating at the scene on Thursday morning and rescued it.
Darwin Marak, a friend of the deceased Ruel, said, “We four friends went to the Someswari river to fish. At this time Ruel suddenly started screaming after throwing the net into the river two or three times. When we tried to rescue him after hearing the screams, we also fell into the hole. Meanwhile, a local person came and rescued us with a boat. But then friend Royal disappeared.
Anut Sangma, father of deceased Ruel Richil, said, “My son's wife died a few days ago, leaving a small child.” Now there is no son. I have nothing left.
In this regard, Durgapur Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Mohammad Saiful Islam said that the police have been sent to the house of the deceased.
