Haridwara sources have stated that a 27 year old man has drowned in river Ganga in Haridwar on Tuesday after he was coaxed by his friends to jump into the flooded river to shoot the ‘dramatic act’ and the video of the incident has gone viral in the social websites. 


After 48 hours the body of the man was identified as Ashish Chauhan from Gandhmirpur in Bhadrabad, Haridwar has not been located yet. Sources have added that the incident has occurred on Tuesday after Ashish and his friends have reached the banks of Gangnahar where they have settled down and have decided to consume liquor.


Initially Ashish was hesitant to jump into the river, but was convinced by his friends to take the dive as they wanted to take the video of his jumping and when the youth did not return for several minutes after jumping in, his friends have decided to contact the Bhadrabad police.


Meanwhile Ashish’s friends with the help of the jal police have tried to locate the body, but have been unsuccessful as on Thursday and Ashish’s friends have claimed that he was a good swimmer and that he had done similar acts many times in the past.
