A 22-year-old YouTuber drowned near a waterfall while trying to film a video for his channel.
A young man can be seen standing on a rock, the waterfall raging around him. One bystander attempted to throw him a rope, but the strong current swept him into the water.
The tragedy occurred due to a sudden rise in the Machkunt River due to heavy rains. Authorities launched a massive search, involving police, firefighters, local emergency services, and residents.
On Sunday evening, Sagar's backpack containing his camera was found. The young blogger ran a YouTube channel with nearly 500 subscribers, sharing his photographs and Odisha culture.
This incident has raised concerns about the safety of Duduma Falls, as many fear that strong currents, especially during the monsoon season, pose serious risks to visitors.
