Bodies of four women and an 8-year-old boy were Friday fished out of Narmada river in Madhya Pradesh's Mandla district, a day after a boat capsized, a senior official said.
Mandla Superintendent of Police RRS Parihar identified the five as Kala Bai (35), Dhaniya Bai (50), Budho Bai (40), Lalita Bai (32) and Devraj (8).
The boat, carrying 15 persons from Bakhari ghat in Seoni district to Gohgaon ghat in Mandla district, sank at Narayanganj on Thursday.
While ten managed to swim ashore, these five had gone missing, the SP said.
