Magura, 22 Jan-- A 9-year-old boy drowned in a pond in Kajli village of Sreepur upazila in Magura on Wednesday.

The deceased was identified as Jabir Hasan, son of Taimur Islam from Tokholpur village of the upazila, said Sreepur Police Station Officer-in-Charge Md Idris Ali.

Jabir's aunt, Sumaiya, said that he had been visiting his maternal grandfather's house in Kajli village as Taimur had left for work in Dhaka, leaving his wife and children there.

Jabir family members were busy with household chores when he fell into the nearby pond. When they could not locate him at home, they searched and discovered him in the pond.

Later, family members rescued him and took him to the Upazila Health Complex, where doctors declared him dead upon arrival.

An unnatural death case has been filed in this regard, said the OC.
