How do you know they are dead? How can you declare them dead even though their bodies haven’t been found?” asks an angry Ashfaq Pinjari, father of 20-year-old medical student Jishan Pinjari from Amalner. Jishan reportedly drowned along with his cousin and two others in the Volkhov River in Russia. Out of the five students involved in the tragedy, one was rescued and is currently recovering at the Novgorod Regional Clinical Hospital in Veliky Novgorod.
According to information from the Consulate General of India in St Petersburg and the District Collector of Jalgaon, one student was saved, two bodies were recovered, and two remain missing. The incident occurred on June 4, and search operations were called off on the morning of June 5.
