A devastating tragedy unfolded in the Deshnoke police station area of Rajasthan's Bikaner district, where three young brothers drowned after falling into an agricultural water reservoir on a farmland. The deceased children have been identified as Pankaj, Chris, and Kartik. The family originally hails from the Adampur Mandi area in the Hisar district of Haryana and had traveled to the Deshnoke belt to work as agricultural laborers. The fatal incident occurred when the three siblings wandered near the water storage structure while their family was engaged in farm labor nearby.
Rescue Attempt Turns Fatal in Deep Farm Reservoir
According to initial findings, the three brothers were spending time near the water reservoir, locally known as a diggi, when one of them suddenly slipped into the water and began to submerge. Upon witnessing their brother struggling in the water, the other two boys immediately jumped in one after another in a desperate bid to pull him to safety. Due to the substantial depth and volume of water inside the structure, none of the children could swim back up or stay afloat, causing all three to sink into the deep water within moments.
The incident triggered immediate panic across the surrounding fields as family members and nearby workers realized what had occurred. Local residents rushed to the site and mounted frantic efforts to pull the children out of the tank. However, despite their swift intervention, all three minors had already lost their lives by the time they were recovered from the reservoir.
Police Arrive at Scene as Family Declines Autopsy
Upon receiving distress calls regarding the drowning, officers from the Deshnoke police station quickly mobilized and reached the farmland to secure the scene. Police personnel gathered eyewitness accounts and took stock of the ground situation. In the wake of the unbearable personal loss, the grief-stricken family explicitly refused to subject the bodies of the three children to post-mortem examinations.
Respecting the formal stance of the parents, the police registered a case under the relevant legal provisions concerning unnatural death and handed over the mortal remains to the family following necessary procedural formalities.
Deshnoke Police Continue Inquiries into Farm Incident
A police team led by Deshnoke Station House Officer Suman Shekhawat has initiated an investigation into the exact circumstances surrounding the tragedy. Law enforcement authorities are examining the site to document all contributing factors. Preliminary findings confirm that the chain of events began with one child falling in, followed by the remaining two drowning during their attempt to save him. Further details are expected to emerge as the inquiry progresses, while the entire local community remains engulfed in profound grief alongside the bereaved family.
