| Updated: January 23, 2025 16:41

In a tragic incident, a 51-year-old man, Biju Raghunath Pillai, drowned in Narmada Canal while trying to save his pet dog in the Gorwa area of Vadodara district in the early hours of Wednesday.

Pillai had taken his two dogs, a German shepherd and a husky, for a walk on Narmada canal road.

Witnesses reported to police that one of the dogs slipped into the canal while playing along its edge.

“The German shepherd slipped into the canal. Pillai immediately jumped into the canal to save his dog. As the current was strong, he couldn’t swim properly and drowned,” said Inspector M S Chaudhary of Laxmipura Police Station.

Chaudhary said that the German Shepherd is yet to be traced.

“The search for the dog is underway. It is possible that the dog managed to save itself, but hasn’t been seen in the area,” he added.

Pillai would often take his dogs for walks along this road.

Fire brigade officials stated that they received a rescue call at 9:45 am.

“Some locals saw Pillai in the water while the husky was barking furiously. We reached the spot but Pillai had drowned by then. We pulled out the body and informed police,” said a fire official.
