A 58-year-old man, Saheb Ansari, drowned in a pond near Biur Mazar in Kaimur district, under the Chainpur police station area. Police recovered the body and sent it for post-mortem at Bhabhua Sadar Hospital before handing it over to the family.

Saheb Ansari, a resident of Kuddi village in Chand police station area, had been staying at Biur Mazar for the past month for his wife's treatment and traditional healing. According to his younger brother, Mohammad Sadir Alam Ansari, Saheb went to the pond's edge to wash his hands and feet after defecating. Due to the darkness, he slipped and fell into the deep water, drowning.

When he did not return for a long time, his family and villagers began searching for him. Upon receiving information, Chainpur police arrived at the scene. Extracting the body proved difficult due to the night and the deep water. After considerable effort by the police and locals, the body was retrieved. Police completed the necessary paperwork and inquest before sending the body for post-mortem.

Saheb Ansari is survived by five daughters, one of whom is married. His family has appealed to the district administration for compensation under disaster relief to support the bereaved family.
