Three siblings identified as Purna Rai (29), Chandra (28) and Erika (22), who went for a picnic, were swept away on August 31 due to the strong-currents of river Bakcha. The Police informed that when one of the sibling drowned, the other two jumped into the river to rescue her but even they swept away with the current. Erika and Chandra's bodies were recovered, whereas Purna's body is still missing.
