The body of a 21-year-old man was recovered on Thursday (May 7, 2026), who went missing along with a minor after a boat capsized in the Mahi river in Rajasthan’s Banswara, police said.
The incident took place on Tuesday (May 5, 2026) near Bhainsau village in the Arthuna police station area when the boat, carrying around 10-11 people, overturned nearly 200 metres from the riverbank, they said.
Eight to nine men managed to swim back to safety, while Jayesh and Manav went missing.
SHO Vinod Meena said, “Jayesh’s body has been recovered by rescuers, while efforts are on for eight-year-old Manav.”
The depth of the river is around 60-70 feet. The SDRF team recovered the body from the riverbed, the SHO said.
This comes days after the incident in Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur, where 13 people lost their lives after a cruise capsized during a storm on April 30.
