As per the police, Sagar Majumdar(8) had gone to bathe at a pond near his house at Holakhet. As time passed by and he did not return, his grandmother Suniti Majumdar (75) went to look out for him.

On reaching the pond, the grandmother saw her grandson's body floating on the pond which prompted her to jump inside the water to save him. However she drowned in an attempt to do so. Later, both their bodies were found floating on the pond by their family members.

The fire services recovered both the bodies and sent them to Gomati District Hospital. The bodies were handed over to their family mambers after postmortem.
