The community of Bhojya village is in deep mourning following a heart-wrenching accident that claimed the lives of a mother and her two minor daughters. The incident took place at a local pond known as Barka Aahar, where Parwa Devi and her daughters, Geeta and Malti, had gone for washing clothes. What started as a regular morning ended in a triple fatality that has left the family’s survivors and neighbors devastated. The loss of three lives from a single family has cast a dark shadow over the entire Sadar block of Chatra.
Local reports suggest that the tragedy was triggered by a slip on the pond’s edge. As one child fell into the deep water, the mother’s protective instincts took over, leading her to dive in. The second child followed suit, hoping to assist her family. The slippery terrain and the sheer depth of the water proved too much for them to overcome. While the villagers rushed to the scene upon hearing the commotion, they were only able to retrieve the bodies after the trio had already drowned. The grief-stricken family is now being supported by locals as they process this unimaginable loss.
