TRAGIC DEATH OF BSF CONSTABLE IN THE LINE OF DUTY

In a tragic incident today while taking out the broken anchor of one of the floating BOPs out of the river Ichchamati we lost previous life of Constable Nasiruddin Ahmad in the line of Duty. Constable Nasiruddin Ahmad after having tied the rope with the broken Anchor, got entangled in the rope due to sudden flow of water in opposite direction which led to sudden push of boat backward. As a result above Constable fell down in the river and remained entangled in the rope which was tied to broken anchor. The force of water was so high that despite best efforts of fellow crew, he could not be taken out of water and drowned. The crew jumped into the water and tried to save him but he could be taken out of water after 4 to 5 minutes. He was given CPR and taken to Taki hospital but he was declared dead.
