But Rohit did not return home at night, and the family began to worry. In the morning, his family began searching. In the meantime, a teenager named Priyanshu Kushwaha said that he had drowned in the River Khnum, 2-3 km away from the village. The villagers evacuated the body of Jaiswal from the river.
According to the family member’s claims, the conditions became so hostile that the family was compelled to leave the village and relocate to somewhere in Uttar Pradesh.
