The deceased youth, K Jitendra (19), along with his father Srinivas (45), of Kampa residential area of Paralakhemundi town, had gone to visit Maa Majhighariani temple.
After crossing the Chekaguda hanging bridge, Srinivas went to the bank of the river for washing his legs. Suddenly, his legs slipped and he was swept away by strong currents.
Immediately, Jitendra jumped into the river to rescue his father but unfortunately the strong currents swept the duo away.
