In a tragic incident, a young boy lost his life to a crocodile attack in Angul district of Odisha on Saturday, as confirmed by the local authorities. The unfortunate incident took place when the eight-year-old boy went for a quick wash in the Mahanadi river at Tikarpada, after answering nature's call. Without any warning, the crocodile pounced on the boy and dragged him away into the depths of the river.
As soon as the news spread, the locals and the fire brigade immediately sprang into action and began a search to find the missing boy. After a thorough search, the boy's lifeless body was found at another location on the bank of the Mahanadi river.
