A 7-year-old boy while collecting water lilies drowned in a water body at Mohammadpur village in Sadar upazila on Tuesday. Victim Sakib Ahmed was son of Bulbul Ahmed, a rickshaw-maker of the same area. Locals said, Sakib went to collect water lilies along with his friends but he drowned in the canal at about 2:00pm. His friends, however, managed to swim ashore. The body of the ill-fated boy was recovered two hours after the incident.
