The four drowned have been identified as Roma (20), Misti (14), Ankita (22) and Ladu (10).

Sources said the three drowned one by one to save the first one who drowned. There is no foul play except tragic negligence and puerile excitement of adventure resulting in this loss of four lives.

Dr Amit Kumar, Medical Officer in the Sadar Hospital Garhwa conducted the post-mortem of all the four drowned girls, said the district epidemiologist Dr Satish Mishra.
