RAYAGADA, OCTOBER 31, In a tragic incident, a 45-year-old man died after reportedly falling into an open, under-construction septic tank at Baghadangari village under Ambadola police limits in Odisha’s Rayagada district. The deceased was identified as Gariba Bagha, a resident of the village.
According to local reports, a group of youths had gathered late on Friday night to gamble near a country liquor outlet, close to a newly constructed house. An open toilet/septic tank under construction was located nearby. In the darkness, Bagha allegedly failed to notice the excavation and fell into the tank.
The others present in the area reportedly did not notice the incident and left after the gathering. When Bagha failed to return home by morning, his family members began searching for him.
During the search, villagers found his body floating in the waterlogged tank and informed Ambadola police. Inspector-in-Charge Prashant Kumar Sethi and Assistant Sub-Inspector Rudradeva Nayak reached the spot and retrieved the body.
The body was subsequently sent to the Community Health Centre (CHC) at Muniguda for post-mortem examination. Police have registered a case of unnatural death and initiated an investigation. The exact circumstances leading to the death are expected to be established during the inquiry.
