Reports state that on Sunday evening, a large number of people visited the area to enjoy the sunset. The woman who was walking with her dog suddenly jumped into the river. Locals noticed the dog continuously barking at the location and called the police. After people raised an alarm, fishermen in a boat tried to save the woman, but she was washed away by the strong currents. Soon after the police arrived, they began searching for the woman’s body.

Locals at the spot stated that the dog reportedly waited for its owner the whole night and slept there. In the morning, the woman’s mother came and took the dog home.
