Bargi dam boat tragedy: Death toll climbs to 12; search on for one missing person

The boat, operated by the state tourism department, capsized during a storm on Thursday evening with some of the survivors alleging negligence and safety lapses such as life jackets not being distributed in time.

The body recovered on Saturday evening was possibly that of six-year-old Viraj Soni, said Sub-Divisional Officer of Police Anjul Ayank Mishra.

"The identity will be confirmed after family members identify the body," he told PTI.

Kamraj, an employee of the Ordnance Factory at Khamaria, his five-year-old son Tamil, and another child Mayuram who had come from southern India were still missing.
