As the trio went further into the river, they started drowning. Saban Bhumij, who had gone to the river after school to take a bath, saw the youths drowning. The Class VIII student, who was an expert swimmer, jumped into the river. He reached the two youths and dragged them to the shore. However, he couldn't save the third. On Thursday, the body of the third was recovered from the river. Saban bravery was lauded at different quarters resulting in NITRAA felicitating him on Friday.
