Eid Mohammad tried to save her by risking his life
This terrible accident happened on the bridge of Kali Sindh river in Gagron near Jhalawar. On Thursday evening, three people riding a bike suddenly fell into the water while crossing the river. A local youth Eid Mohammad tried to save them by risking his life, but the strong current of the river swept them away.
Eid Mohammad immediately jumped and caught two of them
The accident happened when a woman and two men were coming from Jhalawar on a bike. Due to water on the culvert, they stopped and called someone. After a while, a young man came from the other side of the river and talked to the three. After this, all three started crossing the culvert on the bike. After covering more than half the distance, suddenly the bike lost balance and all three fell into the water. At this time, Gagron resident Eid Mohammad, who was present there, immediately jumped into the water to save them. He even caught two of them but due to the strong current, they were still swept away.
First the woman drowned, then the other two were swept away
Eid Mohammad further said that on seeing the three floating in the water, he immediately jumped into the water and reached the floating people. Before he could reach them, the woman had drowned. He tried to pull out the other two, but due to the strong flow of the river, everyone was swept away by the flow of water. They were swept away for more than 200 feet from the culvert. Till then, both the men were holding on to him. He was trying to get both of them out but could not save them.
Both the men also held his vest tightly, so when he tried to pull them out, they too got freed and got swept away.
