A rafting adventure in Rishikesh turned into a nightmare when 23-year-old Arun Anand, a student of Faculty of Management Studies (FMS), drowned in the river on Friday morning.

Anand’s body was brought back to the Capital on Saturday. He was cremated by his family in the Nehru Place crematorium later in the evening.

Anand, a resident of Kalkaji in south Delhi, had gone with about twelve friends on a fun-cum-adventure excursion to Rishikesh-Dehradun-Mussourie for river rafting.

Said professor J K Mitra, Dean, FMS: “Arun was standing on a rock, clicking pictures on Friday morning when he lost his balance and plunged into the river. One of his friends Kanupriya, tried to save him by jumping into the water. However, the strong current pulled both of them and they could be pulled out by others only once they neared the shore. Both were unconscious and rushed to a nearby hospital. While doctors managed to revive Kanupriya, Arun was declared brought dead.”

Fondly remembered as an enterprising student by his friends and teachers at FMS, Arun had gotten job offers from Jumbo Electricals, Dubai and Motorola for the final placement. He was going to join Motorola after his return from this trip.
