A tragic incident occurred in Bikaner district, Rajasthan, where three sisters drowned in a farm water reservoir while attempting to save each other. The sisters, aged 23, 18, and 17, had gone to a nearby irrigation reservoir for washing clothes and watering cattle. According to police, the eldest sister, Dhapu, was a mother of two. Family members reported that the sisters did not return home after several hours, prompting their father to contact relatives. Upon investigation, it was discovered that one sister accidentally slipped into the deep water, leading the other two to jump in to rescue her. All three sisters drowned in the process. Rescue operations were launched to recover their bodies, with a JCB machine being used to partially break the reservoir structure to retrieve the last body late at night.
