The last rites of the deceased were performed on Tuesday itself. We are trying to find out where did the bodies come from. Seeing the flow of the river, it seems that they came from Buxar and other parts of Bihar, Yadav told PTI on Wednesday.
Although Buxar is downstream to Ballia, there is a possibility that the bodies came from Buxar, he said. The distance between the Bharauli and Ujiyar ghats in the Narahi police station area of Ballia, and the ghat in Buxar is around one kilometre. The direction of wind over the river is towards Ballia, the SDM said.
