Bajali, July 29: In an unfortunate incident, a Bol Bom devotee reportedly drowned while collecting water at the Kalidiya river in Assam's Bajali district.
According to sources, a huge crowd of Bol Bom devotees had gathered at the Kaldiya river near Kalibari Temple to collect water to perform the puja on the second Monday of the auspicious Shravan month.
The deceased has been identified as 25-year-old Saurav Bhagawati, a resident of Tihu.
