The Story in Brief
Tara Singh Koranga, a 48-year-old Kshetra Panchayat (BDC) member from Gadera, was found dead on the banks of the Kheerganga river near Kapkot in Bageshwar district on Saturday morning. A three-year-old girl spotted the body from her veranda and alerted her mother, who informed neighbours. The SDRF team, led by sub-inspector Rajendra Singh Rawat, retrieved the body and handed it to police. Koranga lived alone near the river; his family in Jalekh village includes his parents, wife, son and two daughters. Police have sent the body for postmortem and are investigating the cause of death.

This is a tragic death, but the Hindustan Times report is sparse on details. Social media may rush to blame rivals or call it a crime, but the police have not said anything yet. The postmortem report will be the key test. Until then, assumptions are just noise. The story also raises a quiet question: why was a 48-year-old BDC member living alone in a house near the river, away from his family in Jalekh?
