In a brave attempt to save their friend, the remaining five children jumped into the water. Unfortunately, three more children, including two sisters, lost their lives in the process. Local residents managed to rescue two children, who were rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition.

The police have recovered the bodies of three children from the pond, while efforts are ongoing to locate the fourth child.
