23-year-old girl in Kundapur slips, falls into embankment while getting fodder for cattle
Kundapur: In a tragic incident reported from Amasebail village, a 23-year-old girl died of drowning after slipping and falling into the waters of an embankment in the village on Thursday, when she was getting fodder for the cattle.
The deceased girl, Mookambika, was the daughter of Sanjeeva Naik and Narasi, residents of Jambehadi in Jaddinagadde.
Mookambika, who worked in a petrol bunk, had her shift in the afternoon. In the morning, she went out with her sister-in-law Ashwini to the field to get fodder for the cattle. When Ashwini returned home with the bundle, she found that Mookambika, who had been walking behind her, was missing. She went back on the route looking for Mookambika and found her sickle lying on the bank of the embankment. When the other members of the family rushed to the spot and looked for Mookambika, they found her body in the waters of the embankment.
Mookambika is currently suspected to have accidentally fallen into the waters as she was treading the verge of the embankment amid rain and strong wind while returning home with the fodder.
Kundapur Tahsildar Pradeep Kurdekar, Amasebail Sub-inspector Ashok Kumar, Amasebail Village Administrative Officer Chandrashekhar Murthy, Panchayat Development Officer Swaminath and Gram Panchayat member Chandra Shetty were among those who visited the spot.
A case has been registered at the Amasebail Police Station based on a complaint filed by Mookambika’s mother Narasi. The officers are investigating the matter.

Experience comes when you play bigger teams in bilateral series: Rashid Khan
Chennai (PTI): Afghanistan skipper Rashid Khan called for more bilateral series against stronger cricketing nations after his team signed off from the T20 World Cup on a high, defeating Canada in their final group match here on Thursday.
Afghanistan played some exhilarating cricket, going down to South Africa in a gripping second Super Over after the scores were tied, a humdinger that provided one of the early thrills of the World Cup.
However, the spin-bowling stalwart said Afghanistan could make significant strides if they get regular opportunities to compete against stronger cricketing nations.
"Couple of areas to improve, with the batting, the middle order got a bit stuck against the big teams, and then with the bowling the death overs. That comes when you play the bigger teams in bilateral series," said Rashid after his team defeat Canada by 82 runs, with him returning excellent figures of 2 for 19.
The stalwart said the side had arrived well prepared for the tournament and produced some breathtaking cricket, but admitted the narrow defeat to South Africa proved costly and remained a painful setback.
"We were well-prepared (for the tournament), we played some unbelievable cricket. The game against South Africa, that really hurt everyone. We had to win one of those (first two) games and see how the tournament unfolded. We'll take some positive things from this World Cup and look forward," he said.
With head coach Jonathan Trott set to part ways with the team, Rashid described the departure as an "emotional" moment for the side.
"I think we had some wonderful times with him. Where we are now, he played a main role. It's emotional to see him leave us, but that's how life is. We wish him all the best and somewhere down the line we see him again."
Ibrahim Zadran, who was named Player of the Match for his unbeaten 95 off 56 balls, said it was satisfying to finally register a substantial score after two below-par outings.
"I enjoyed it, didn't play better cricket in first two innings, which I expect. Wanted to back my skills, really enjoyed it. Pressure was there, it's there all the time. I want to put myself in pressure situations and enjoy it," said Zadran.
"Wanted to play positive cricket, rotate strike and punish bad ball, create partnerships and this is what I have done."
