Lucknow: The body of 14-year-old Rizwan Ahmad, who went missing on Saturday after being swept away in the Kukrail river near Rahimnagar, was found following a seven-hour-long search operation. The rescue mission was led by Mahanagar police station house officer (SHO) Akhilesh Mishra, who, along with two dedicated teams. "We began the operation with the SDRF team, and although hope was fading by evening, we continued to comb the river," Mishra said. Rizwan and his friend Sahil, also 14, had gone to collect floating garbage from the river. However, a sudden rise in the water level due to rainfall caused Rizwan to be swept away by the current. Sahil managed to swim to safety. The incident took place around 3pm near a Jal Nigam barrel. After the incident, locals informed the authorities. Kismat Ali, 45, Rizwan's father, works as a garbage collector, while his two brothers, Zainul, 19, and Raju, 18, are sweepers. Their mother, Bashirun Nisa, 40, is a house help. Municipal commissioner Gaurav Kumar visited the spot and directed officials to begin immediate rescue efforts. Teams from Jal Nigam, SDRF, local police and municipal corporation began a search operation.

The barrel and the drain are part of the Jal Nigam infrastructure, and water flow increases in this area after rainfall. There was no immediate evidence of structural fault or unattended hazard. Officials said the boy drowned near the meeting of the river and the Jal Nigam's outlet, a zone where water speed increases after rain.

IIT Bombay Student Dies By Suicide After Jumping From Hostel Building
A 22-year-old student at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay allegedly died by suicide after jumping from his hostel building in the early hours of Saturday, Mumbai Police said. Rohit Sinha, a Delhi native and fourth-year Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Science student at the institute, is believed to have jumped around 1 am. He was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival, police said. Police officials stated that there was one eyewitness to the incident, another student who was on the hostel terrace speaking on the phone at the time and saw the student, identified as Rohit, jump. Police have registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR), and an investigation is underway to determine the circumstances that led to the incident. The year 2025 saw many suicide related deaths by students of the premier IITs across the country. In July, a second-year Electrical Engineering student of IIT Kharagpur was found dead on the campus under mysterious circumstances. The student was identified as Chandradip Pawar. This was the second incident of an on-campus death of a student of the institute in recent times as on July 18, the body of Ritam Mondal, a fourth-year Mechanical Engineering Student, was discovered under mysterious circumstances in his hostel room. It was the fifth case of in-campus unnatural death at IIT-Kharagpur. On May 4, Mohammad Asif Qamar, a third-year B. Tech student from Bihar, was found dead in his room at Madan Mohan Malviya Hall. On April 20, Aniket Walker, a final-year Ocean Engineering student from Maharashtra, was found hanging in JC Bose Hall. On January 12, Shaon Malik, a third-year electrical engineering student, died by suicide. The Supreme Court on July 28 expressed serious concern over rising student suicides in educational institutions, questioning the management of IIT Kharagpur over their handling of recent cases. A Bench comprising Justice J.B. Pardiwala and Justice R. Mahadevan, while hearing a suo motu case, demanded accountability from the institution. 'Why are students committing suicide? What is the management doing?' the Bench asked pointedly, and directed West Bengal police to file detailed status reports within four weeks. (Discussions on suicides can be triggering for some.
