Thrissur: Four members of a family drowned in the Bharathapuzha River on Thursday. The deceased are Kabir, the owner of Cheruthuruthy Sara Bakery; his wife Shahina, a resident of Cheruthuruthy; their 10-year-old daughter Sara; and Shahina's 12-year-old nephew, Sanu (Fuvad).

The children were caught in the current while bathing at the Painkulam cremation ghat in the Bharathapuzha river. When Kabir and Shahina tried to rescue them, they were also swept away by the strong current. Though the residents managed to pull back Shahina and rushed her to Jeevodaya Hospital in Chelakkara, she could not be saved.  The bodies of the other three were recovered later.
