A tragic incident has unfolded in Raghuvipura village, where the body of 21-year-old Sridevi was recovered from a river on Sunday. Sridevi had been married for only 16 days, having wed on June 26.

Sridevi reportedly left her parental home on July 9 without informing anyone and did not return. Following an extensive search, her body was found in the river with the assistance of local residents and divers. Police have registered a case and are investigating all potential angles, awaiting the post-mortem report for further action.
