A 24-year-old electrician was feared dead after he allegedly jumped into a canal near here, police said today.
Gaurav Kumar yesterday allegedly jumped into the canal, police said, adding that passersby tried to rescue him but due to heavy flow of water they failed.
Several agencies searched for him throughout the day but were unable to trace him, they said.
Balbir Chand, Gaurav's father, told police that his son had gone to attend some work, along with his friend, but did not return home. He later came to know that his son has jumped into the canal, police said.
