Tension and shock gripped the Gandacherra area after the mysterious recovery of a young man’s body from a pond adjacent to the Gandacherra Class XII English Medium School today

The deceased has been identified as Kiran Majhi, a native of Bihar, who had come to Tripura with his father to work as a labourer at a local brick kiln in Gandacherra.

According to police sources, Kiran had been missing since 17 November. His family members and co-workers searched for him in various places but failed to trace him.
