Tragic Discovery: Missing Boy's Body Found in Sikkim Pond

A 14-year-old boy, reported missing from his home in Sikkim's Gangtok district, was tragically found dead in a local pond, according to police sources on Tuesday.

The search commenced immediately after the boy's family filed a complaint at the Singtam Police Station on Monday evening. The search covered the Shantinagar locality and the Rani Khola river belt where a team uncovered a pair of slippers near the pond.

Divers were brought in and eventually located the boy at a depth of ten feet. He was promptly taken to Singtam District Hospital where medical officials pronounced him dead. An unnatural death case has been registered and investigations continue.
