Re­lief and sad­ness yes­ter­day as the body of 14-year-old Sameer Rag­bir was found. Sameer’s body was caught in a fish­ing net at a Ma­yaro beach not far from where he was last seen on Mon­day.

Rel­a­tives, vil­lagers and search teams gath­ered as he was brought to shore and then re­moved by un­der­tak­ers. He is be­lieved to have drowned.

Guardian Me­dia un­der­stands the fish­er­men were as­sist­ing in the search around 11.45 am when the body was found about 500 feet from the shore­line. Hunters Search and Res­cue Team, led by Sham­sudeen Ayube, was there when the body was found.
