He was swept away by the strong current, prompting immediate searches by his relatives and neighbors along the drain. Subsequently, two fire tender units joined the search operation. After an hour-long effort, one of his relatives located him in a nullah at Laxmi Sagar and promptly handed him over to the fire brigade team.

He was rushed to Capital Hospital in Bhubaneswar by a special ambulance in a critical condition. However, he was declared dead by the doctors.
